Late last month, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its highly anticipated decision in Sandifer v. United States Steel Corp.

For an analysis of the Sandifer opinion and its critical implications for employers, see “The Supreme Court’s Sandifer Decision and Collective Actions,” authored by BakerHostetler partner Greg Mersol.
