United States Third Circuit

In a wrongful-termination suit, denial of defendant-employer's motion to stay is reversed and remanded for entry of a stay pending arbitration where plaintiff-employee's inability to read in English the employment agreement he signed, which bound him to arbitration of his complaints, did not release him from being bound by it.
