SCOTUS Cases Impacting Labor & Employment Law

Several decisions that came out of the Supreme Court of the United States ("SCOTUS") last term have significantly altered the landscape of labor and employment law, including decisions on the use of arbitration agreements for wage and hour class and collective actions (Epic Systems Corp.), mandatory union dues for public-sector employees (Janus) and discrimination against same-sex couples based on sincerely-held religious beliefs (Masterpiece Cakeshop).
