Both cases involved former entry-level financial advisors of Wells Fargo Advisors LLC (Wells Fargo) subject to broad arbitration clauses in their employment agreements. All six brought unpaid overtime claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state wage and hour law, seeking class arbitration. Wells Fargo responded by petitioning the district court in each case to compel bilateral arbitration. Wells Fargo's petitions were denied in the case involving the Tucker claimants and also in the second involving the Sappington claimants.
