Ramos v. Superior Court

An arbitration provision in an employment agreement was procedurally and substantively unconscionable as applied to the worker’s claims to vindicate her statutory rights and for wrongful termination. If a worker’s claims have their “roots in the relationship” created by the agreement that required arbitration of claims “arising under or related to” the agreement, then the claims fall within the scope of the agreement. The law remains that mandatory employment contracts that require employees to waive their rights to bring statutory discrimination claims under the Fair Employment and Housing Act and related claims for wrongful termination in violation of public policy are unlawful.
