It's time to end forced arbitration. Companies must stop taking advantage of Americans and must be held accountable.

Stand Up For Your Rights

Over the last year, the U.S. Supreme Court has issued three decisions that expanded companies’ ability to force arbitration on consumers and employees, depriving them of their right to seek redress in court. The Arbitration Fairness Act of 2011 has been introduced to fix this injustice. The bill would allow consumers and employees to decide whether to settle a dispute in court or arbitration.

Forced arbitration allows companies to play by their own rules and escape accountability when they harm consumers and employees.

I am troubled that even if you refuse to sign a contract but show up for work or use a product or service, you can lose even the option of going to court. People who have been harmed by discrimination, negligence, defective products or scams should not be forced into arbitration.

I strongly support legislation to end the practice of forcing employees and consumers to sign away their rights to legal protections and access to the courts. The Arbitration Fairness Act would make mandatory binding arbitration unenforceable in civil rights, employment, and consumer disputes, but would not eliminate voluntary arbitration agreed to after a dispute arises.

It’s time to put a stop to companies avoiding accountability. Congress should enact the Arbitration Fairness Act now to protect the rights of employees and consumers.
