Right. And she didn't want to go back because she was sexually assaulted. And so, we are not talking about, obviously, she can make a criminal claim, but she wanted to actually get out of having to continue to pay Massage Envy. She is just an example of, literally, the many women this has happened to. There was an investigation. There are about 1,200 of these franchises across the country, and BuzzFeed did an investigation, and they found that there were about more than 180 women who had been sexually assaulted at these spas. Now think about this, aside from the criminal consequences, which obviously there must be, the company does not want to let you out of your contract unless they force you to arbitration. Maybe you can explain again why forced arbitration is really so contrary to our system of justice?

I am especially concerned about what is going to happen to the teachers. Because we have a tremendous teacher shortage in Florida and also around the country.

What is that called, adding insult to injury? Last year, the Republican majority proposed an appropriation bill that completely eliminated the Women's Bureau.
