minus-squarepartial_accumenlinkEnglish11•edit-211 months ago It just allows them to ignore federal Eeoc laws since they can just arbitrate it. That sounds suspect. EEOC is federal. I find it doubtful a company can simply choose to opt-out of those laws.
minus-squareHumaniuslinkEnglish3•edit-211 months agoPersonally I don’t think forced arbitration should exist for any law. It’s a way for large corporations to avoid legal responsibility. I always find it odd how easy it seems to be to just sign your rights away in the US.
minus-squareHumaniuslinkEnglish3•11 months agoSigning your rights away should never be possible, even if you get something in return. Allowing that is just making the system ripe for abuse. At what point would you say you’ve met the threshold of something being valuable enough for forced arbitration to be allowable?

Agreed. Forced arbitration is so shady…
