Court Denied Petition To Compel Arbitration In Employment Case.

After he was terminated, plaintiff filed a class action alleging various Labor Code violations and unfair business practices. Finding the prohibition against class actions in the agreement to be improper in the test set forth in Gentry v. Sup. Ct. (2007) 42 Cal.4th 443 [64 Cal.Rptr.3d 773, 165 P.3d 556], the trial court denied defendant’s petition to compel arbitration.
