Decided June 15, 2022. Samuel A. Alito Jr. delivered the opinion of the Court.

Docket 20-1573 · 596 U.S. 639 · Cited 205 times

The Federal Arbitration Act preempts a rule of California law that invalidates contractual waivers of the right to assert representative claims under “PAGA”—California’s Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act of 2004—insofar as that rule precludes division of PAGA actions into individual and non-individual claims through an agreement to arbitrate.
