[Consolidated.] J. Larsen finds the lower court properly determined the employer waived its right to arbitrate discrimination claims brought by the deaf employee. It waited more than seven months to file its motion to compel, before which it conducted extensive discovery, took depositions and raised several affirmative defenses, all of which contradicts its argument it intended to rely on arbitration from the outset of the case. Affirmed.
Court: 6th Circuit, Judge: Larsen, Filed On: March 27, 2024, Case #: 23-1507, Categories: arbitration, Civil Procedure, employment Discrimination

J. Nelson grants the railroad company's motion to compel arbitration regarding the employee's complaint alleging that he was fired because he is Black and opposed the company's discriminatory policies. The employee claims that the arbitration clause is unenforceable due to it undermining Utah and Oregon laws against employment discrimination, but the employee does not and cannot identify case law that denies arbitration solely based on federal and state public policies because arbitration is meant to be a forum to resolve employment discrimination claims.

J. Edwards finds the trial court improperly denied the third-party retailer's bid to compel arbitration in an employee's disability discrimination lawsuit over a lack of accommodations for a workplace injury she suffered. In part because a valid arbitration agreement exists between the parties and all three factors for arbitration are met under the relevant precedent, the trial court should have granted the retailer's motion to dismiss and compelled arbitration. Reversed.

J. Park finds that the district court improperly confirmed an arbitration award and unsealed its provisions in age discrimination claims because the confirmation request was rendered moot when IBM fully paid the award, and attaching the confidential award to the action under seal and seeking unsealing was a tactic meant to skirt the terms of the award. Reversed in part.
Court: 2nd Circuit, Judge: Park, Filed On: August 14, 2023, Case #: 22-1240-cv, Categories: arbitration, Civil Procedure, employment Discrimination
J. Park finds that the district court properly dismissed claims of age discrimination by two dozen IBM Corp. employees who were terminated. The former workers missed the deadline set for initiating arbitration, and their attempt to use the "piggybacking rule" to attach to a timely age-discrimination case did not apply in arbitration. Furthermore, IBM's motion to seal documents from related arbitrations was properly granted under federal policy favoring confidentiality, especially in light of the employees' counsel attempting to skirt it by attaching them to a premature request for summary judgment. Affirmed.

J. Rodriguez grants in part a security services company its motion to compel arbitration following race and national origin discrimination allegations brought by a former staff member who is an Ethiopian immigrant. The company has properly established an agreement with the staff member, and so the fact that both parties signed it subjects them to arbitration. However, the action will not be dismissed nor stayed until after arbitration.
