Judge Esposito’s ruling can be found online but here is the gist of it:
NLRB Administrative Law Judge Lauren Esposito ruled in early December, a year after Sternfeld brought the case, that CVS broke labor law and took away Sternfeld’s rights to a class action suit. CVS said Dec. 30 it will appeal Esposito’s ruling to the full board.
The board’s general counsel argued CVS’ arbitration policy was so broad that it violates Sternfeld’s rights – and those of all other CVS workers nationwide. Esposito agreed.
