On April 24 the Supreme Court ruled that employees of Lamps Plus must pursue individual arbitrations against the company over a data breach incident. A lower court had ruled that the employees could proceed as a class but Chief Justice Roberts majority opinion held that no language in the arbitration agreement gives them that right. Each of the dissenting justices issued an opinion. Justice Elena Kagan wrote that the majority was continuing to make it more difficult for workers to use class actions and class arbitrations to resolve disputes..
