Garrett v. Circuit City Stores, Inc.
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided May 11, 2006No. 04-11360PublishedCited by 39 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
EDITH H. JONES, Chief Judge:
The issue in this case is whether a provision of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (“USERRA”), 38 U.S.C. § 4302(b), which protects the employment rights of members of the armed forces, precludes the enforcement of individual contracts to arbitrate such disputes. We hold that it does not. Accordingly, we reverse the district court’s contrary conclusion.
