Plaintiff health care workers sought damages, statutory penalties, and relief from their former employer for alleged wage
Question:
Plaintiff health care workers sought damages, statutory penalties, and relief from their former employer for alleged wage law violations. The plaintiffs sought a declaration that the arbitration clauses in their employment contracts were "unconscionable and unenforceable." The plaintiffs reasoned that other sections of the employment contract "permit the employer to seek limited judicial relief without affording the employees that same option." The defendant employer moved to compel arbitration. The trial court denied the defendant's motion to compel arbitration, holding that the arbitration agreement was unconscionable. The defendant employer appealed. On appeal, the court considered that the state of Washington has a strong public policy favoring arbitration. How do you think the court of appeals ruled? Romney v. Franciscan Med. Grp. (2015 Wash. App. LEXIS 322).
