The decision in D.R. Horton Inc. v. National Labor Relations Board, argued before the court back in February, overturned the NLRB’s previous decision, which held that the massive Texas-based residential building company was violating the National Labor Relations Act when it required employees to sign a waiver that prevents them from entering class or collective actions against their employer.
Ron Chapman Jr., shareholder at Ogletree Deakins, represented D.R. Horton in the case along with Christopher Murray, another Ogletree shareholder. Chapman told CorpCounsel.com that he believes the ruling is a victory not just for his client but for employers across the country.
