GCA moved to compel arbitration pursuant to the arbitration agreements contained in various documents that Zoller signed when she began her employment, but the district court denied the motion, finding that the “knowing waiver” doctrine applied to Zoller’s statutory claims and that she had not knowingly waived her right to bring her claims in a judicial forum.
