Zuber v. Boscov’s — civil / contract — reversal — Greenaway

The Third Circuit today held that, under Pennsylvania contract law, an employee’s waiver of workers’ compensation claims did not also waive his claims under the Family Medical Leave Act and state law, reversing a district court ruling to the contrary.

Joining Greenaway were Shwartz and Greenberg. Arguing counsel were Manili Arora of Swartz Swidler for the employee, Alexander Ross Jr. of Rakoski & Ross for the employer, and Lawrence Chaban of the PA Association for Justice as amicus.
