Supreme Court sides with employers in class action arbitration cases - CNNPolitics

'Federal labor law does not countenance such isolation of employees," she said. '

'The court has approved some collective action bans in consumer contracts, and employers hoped for the same fate when it comes to employer contracts. '

'Lawyers for employers, who have long backed arbitration as a means of resolving disputes, argued that class action waivers are permissible under the 1925 law. '

'"The court today holds enforceable these arm-twisted, take-it-or-leave-it contracts -- including the provisions requiring employees to litigate wage and hours claims only one-by-one. '

'Neal Katyal, a lawyer for Epic, argued in court papers," like other contracts, employment contracts may require that arbitration be conducted on an individual basis."'

I went to a first day at work orientation.

They plunked down a contract that has an arbitration clause (mind you I asked for all contracts and reviewed them before accepting the job).

I tossed it right back at them and said NO, I refuse to sign.

They paid me $10K.

Never sign binding arbitration agreements. I never do.

Credit card contracts? I scratch that shit out and mail in the application ~ always accepted.

And with other things where disputes occurred?

Company: "Oh, you have to go through arbitration, like our contract says."

Me: " I changed the contract and you accepted, so no, I don't."

It costs about $40K to defend a lawsuit...if you are asking for $10K ... they just pay you off.
