Chamber event

YOUNGSTOWN

The Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber will host an “HR Hot Topics” event on class-action waivers from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. Thursday in the chamber’s 17th-floor conference room, located at Federal Plaza Central No. 1600.

The Supreme Court recently issued a ruling that an arbitration agreement containing a waiver of class proceedings is enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act, notwithstanding certain provisions of the National Labor Relations Act that seemed to state otherwise, according to the chamber.

The event will discuss the implications of this decision on the enforceability of these waivers.

The cost is $25 for chamber members and $35 for nonmembers.
