Questions Presented

Whether a California rule that prohibits the enforcement of arbitration agreements with respect to representative employment claims under California’s Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”), and that is applied to no other type of agreement, is preempted by the FAA because the rule discriminates against arbitration agreements.
2. Whether a California rule that prohibits the enforcement of arbitration agreements with respect to representative employment claims under PAGA is preempted by the FAA because the rule eviscerates bilateral arbitration agreements and thereby thwarts the objectives of the FAA.
