Abstract

The United States Supreme Court held that the existence of an arbitration agreement in an employment contract does not preclude the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission from seeking victim specific relief in a discrimination suit; The EEOC may seek victim specific relief when the alleged violation infringes on the employee's rights via Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Equal Employment Opportunity
