End to Forced Arbitration: Greater Rights in Employment and Consumer Disputes.
This act prohibits companies from requiring employees and consumers to agree to arbitration before a dispute arises. This means citizens will have more freedom to choose how to resolve issues like employment, consumer, antitrust, or civil rights disputes, including the ability to join class action lawsuits.
Key points
Ban on forced arbitration agreements: Companies can no longer compel arbitration for future employment, consumer, antitrust, and civil rights disputes.
Right to class action lawsuits: The act protects the right to participate in joint, class, or collective actions, making it easier to pursue group claims.
Courts decide disputes: A court, not an arbitrator, will determine if a case falls under these new rules, increasing transparency and fairness.
