In a ruling that establishes new protections for workers, the California Supreme Court on Thursday sharply limited the kinds of mandatory arbitration agreements that companies can impose on their employees. Workers may still be required to give up their right to sue over discriminatory firings or disciplinary actions, the justices said in a unanimous decision. But the deals must permit employees the chance to collect as much money as the law would allow in a jury trial, and the company must pay the costs of arbitration, the court held.
