California Court of Appeal

In an employment dispute, the trial court's order denying defendants' motion to compel arbitration of claims based on the alleged misclassification of plaintiff as an independent contractor rather than an employee is reversed where: 1) the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. section 1 et seq., applies to the parties’ arbitration agreement, and all of plaintiff's claims are arbitrable; and 2) defendants did not waive their right to arbitration even though they waited 14 months after the complaint was filed to move to compel arbitration.
