On May 28, 2026, the Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision in Flowers Foods, Inc. v. Brock substantially expanding  which types of workers can avoid forced arbitration and bring their employment claims in court. 

If you drive for a delivery service, if you load trucks at a distribution center, if you pick up goods at a regional warehouse and deliver them to local stores, or if you signed a distribution agreement that includes an arbitration clause, the ruling may directly affect your ability to sue for unpaid wages, misclassification as an independent contractor, expense reimbursement, or other workplace claims.
