California Court of Appeal

In an employment case, a mandamus petition seeking to set aside an order compelling the employer to submit to arbitration, based on employment agreements drafted by the employer, including submitting to the arbitrator the issue whether class action relief is encompassed by the agreements, the petition is denied where the agreements' incorporation by reference of the American Arbitration Association's National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes (AAA Rules) vests the arbitrator with the power to decide the disputed issue.
