Convergys Corp. v. NLRB

Abrogation of the asserted right to participate in class and collective actions was not abrogation of a Section 7 right and therefore does not constitute an unfair labor practice under Section 8(a)(1) of the National Labor Relations Act. Covergys sought review of the Board's determination that it violated the Act both by requiring job applicants to sign a class and collective action waiver and by subsequently seeking to enforce the waiver. The Fifth Circuit granted the application for review, holding that Convergys did not engage in an unfair labor practice for purposes of Section 8(a)(1) by requiring applicants to sign a waiver or by seeking to enforce the waiver.
