Union Square Hospitality Group introduced a new arbitration agreement to prevent employees from filing class action lawsuits and then rescinded it, reports Eater. The agreement was part of a new employee manual that was introduced at the end of January. The company has set a deadline of January 2021 for itself and employees to come to an agreement on a conflict resolution process, according to the report.
“Many of our people have shared questions and concerns about a new arbitration agreement,” a spokesperson for USHG told Eater in a written statement. “USHG is built on listening to our team members, and because of that we have decided to rescind the agreement. Over the next several months, we will invite all interested team members to join in a collaborative process to create a best in class, inclusive program for conflict resolution.” Full Story
