Question presented

Does the Federal Arbitration Act require the enforcement of a bilateral arbitration agreement providing that a worker cannot raise representative claims under California’s Private Attorneys General Act, thereby preempting the contrary holding in Iskanian v. CLS Transportation Los Angeles LLC, 327 P.3d 129 (Cal. 2014)? This question is also presented in Viking River Cruises, Inc. v. Moriana, No. 20–1573 (U.S. filed May 10, 2021), and Coverall North America, Inc. v. Rivas, No. 21–268 (U.S. filed Aug. 20, 2021), among other cases.
