Professor Matt Finkin was cited in Justice Ginsburg's dissent (joined by Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan) in Epic Systems Corp v. Lewis, decided on May 21, 2018.

In Epic and two companion cases (NLRB v. Murphy Oil USA, Inc. and Ernst & Young LLP v. Morris), the Court in a 5-4 decision said companies can require their workers to through arbitration to pursue any legal claims against their employers, rather than go to court or join together in class lawsuits or grievances.

The article that was cited: Finkin, The Meaning and Contemporary Vitality of the Norris-LaGuardia Act, 93 Neb. L. Rev. 6, 16 (2014).

Last August, Finkin submitted an amicus curiae on behalf of the National Academy of Arbitrators in support of the respondents in the cases being heard by the Supreme Court. 

Speculating last year about the potential outcome of the case, should the Court favor the employers over worker's rights, he said, "This really could set us back a century."
