Did the Court hold that the Alexander v. Gardner-Denver decision precluded arbitration of employment discrimination claims?


No. The Court distinguished the present case from the Gardner-Denver decision. It stated the Gardner-Denver decision involved the issue of whether arbitration of collective bargaining contract-based claims precluded subsequent judicial resolution of statutory claims, not the enforceability of an agreement to arbitrate statutory claims. The arbitration in Gardner-Denver occurred in the context of a collective bargaining agreement, and thus there was concern about the tension between collective representation and individual statutory rights that is not applicable in this case. It was also not decided under the FAA.
