Despite the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling that employment arbitration agreements barring class action lawsuits are valid, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has asked an appeals court to allow it to hear a case involving Hobby Lobby employees.

Last week, the NRLB asked the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider a 2016 ruling. The agency argued it should have the opportunity to consider additional arguments by a group of employees. The workers challenged an agreement they had signed with the retail chain after their wage-and-hour lawsuit went to arbitration. 

Christian-owned Hobby Lobby is also facing a federal class-action lawsuit charging it with deceptive advertising practices. Filed recently in the Northern District of Florida, lead plaintiff Steven Marcum of Alabama complained he purchased a table in March at a store in Pensacola, Florida for a price higher than he expected. 

Marcum said he had a coupon for 40 percent off one regularly-priced item, which he thought meant he could buy an $83.99 table marked as “always 30 percent off” for just over $50. Instead, the lawsuit said the store gave him 40 percent off the full retail price of $119.99, or just under $72.
