Forced arbitration is an underhanded maneuver that corporations use to trick consumers, workers, and small businesses out of their right to go to court and seek damages from a jury of their peers when they get injured or cheated.
Consumers, workers, and small-business people shouldn't need a law degree to be able to go about their daily lives without giving up their constitutional rights.
I have been a proud sponsor of the Forced Arbitration Injustice Repeal Act, also known as the FAIR Act.
The widespread use of forced arbitration is serious threat to our entire legal system.
