P1180 An employment contract requiring the employee to attend meetings, site visits, and grand openings in other states involved interstate commerce, so the Federal Arbitration Act pre-empted California Labor Code's prohibition against requiring arbitration of claims brought under it; while unconscionability might be ground for revocation of any contract and thus prevent arbitration of a dispute arising under a contract involving interstate commerce, a contract claim for millions of dollars in bonuses and severance payments is not a wage claim for which an agreement to arbitrate would be unconscionable.CitationGIULIANO v INLAND EMPIRE (Big Bonus) 149 CA4 1276 [See: 9 USC 1 etseq; LabC 229; CivC 1670.5; Cronus v Concierge 35 C4 376, P/AT 5/05; Armendariz v Foundation 24 C4 83, T/AT 9/00; Little v Auto Stiegler 29 C4 1064, P/AT 5/03]
