Ending Forced Arbitration: Greater Rights in Employment and Consumer Disputes.
This act aims to prohibit agreements that force citizens into out-of-court dispute resolution before disputes even arise. This means that in cases involving employers, companies, or discrimination, citizens will be free to choose court proceedings or join class actions, increasing their chances for a fair resolution.
Key points
Ban on forced arbitration: Pre-dispute agreements forcing out-of-court resolution in employment, consumer, antitrust, and civil rights disputes will be prohibited.
Right to class action: Citizens, workers, and small businesses gain the full right to participate in joint, class, or collective actions, making it easier to pursue claims as a group.
Court determines agreement validity: A court, not an arbitrator, will decide whether an arbitration agreement is valid and if the act applies to a given dispute.
