United States Sixth Circuit

Where the EEOC, a non-party to the arbitration agreement between an employer and former employee, filed an enforcement action against the employer, pursuing victim-specific judicial relief, and the employee attested she did not intend to assert any claim against employer or intervene in the suit brought by the EEOC, EEOC proceeding was permissible, and the district court did not err in denying employer's motion to compel arbitration and granting employee's motion for judgment on the pleadings.
