Originally published by Beth Graham.

A Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals panel has held whether a group of workers may engage in class arbitration under the terms of a broadly worded arbitration agreement should be decided by an arbitrator.  In Robinson, et al. v. J & K Administrative Management Services, Inc., et al. a Texas-based management company, J & K, entered into an agreement to arbitrate with each of the company’s workers as a condition of employment.
