Case: Wage & Hour/Arbitration (Cal. Ct. App., 5th Dist.)

The California Court of Appeal denied a petition for writ of mandate challenging the trial court’s order compelling arbitration of a former janitor’s wage and hour claims under the state’s labor code against CCS Facility Services-Fresno Inc., finding that the arbitration agreement was not unconscionable despite its broad scope and indefinite duration because, unlike in a controlling state law case, the employer’s limited janitorial operations made potential non-employment related claims unlikely to arise.
