NEW REPORT - AAJ research reveals corporations are increasingly using forced arbitration against their customers to take away their legal rights, with claims surging 467% year over year.

Let that sink in. 467%!

THIS headline - Judge Bemoans Mandatory Arbitration’s Role in Worker Wage Cases

THIS quote - "It’s “simply a ‘myth’ that arbitration is either faster or cheaper than a well-run federal district court” where workers can go before a jury." @BLaw

It's become increasingly clear that the forced arbitration status quo is not good for consumers or business and voters on both sides of the aisle are sick of it.

Because "unconstrained corporate power threatens ... core values," "preserving constitutional freedoms depends on winning the fight" for economic justice.

"Treating them as separate goals will ultimately mean losing out on both."

Out of 3,900 employment arbitrations by the American Arbitration Association between 2003 and 2007, corporations won 78.6% of the time. When employees won, recovery was 20-25% compared to what they would have gotten in court. https://t.co/EenoaWUjqY

“Hounding people for money, wage garnishments, seizure of bank accounts, all over minimal amounts of money… it feels draconian & cruel. This is why people end up avoiding necessary healthcare… they don’t want to face the spiral of #medicalDebt.” @CNN https://t.co/B1pbRIzTZU

Reminder that forced arbitration is not a fair process.

In fact, it is often the case that the arbitrator is selected and paid for by the corporation.

It's just plain wrong. It's time to #EndForcedArbitration.

Trying to teach the Fifth Circuit’s Article III standing doctrine as if it reflects consistent application of neutral doctrinal principles is … increasingly impossible.

Who does Corporate America think they're fooling?

Forced arbitration eviscerates the rights of all Americans. It's past time to #EndForcedArbitration.

What else does #Tesla have? Unfortunately, mandatory binding arbitration clauses with class action waivers to prevent accountability via the civil justice system. More: https://t.co/ksaYYzLVAL

“Forced arbitration clauses are pervasive in the boilerplate terms & conditions," said Christine Hines, @NACAdvocate. “It’s way past time for these sneaky contract provisions that disarm the powerless & protect the powerful to be gone.” #ProtectConsumers https://t.co/gX3jDU3nF3

We are disappointed that SCOTUS denied the petition we filed for the daughter of Ryan Stokes, who was unarmed and surrendering when an officer shot him from behind without warning. As Justice Sotomayor explains, the Court’s silence speaks volumes. https://t.co/Wqg867h2Wo

Forced arbitration is wrong, and corporate titans know it.

It's time to take a stand: we won't stop fighting until we #EndForcedArbitration once and for all.

"Binding arbitration needs to go by the wayside. We need to open up America's courtrooms, and give both sides a chance to make their case," said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). @GrahamBlog #EndForcedArbitration https://t.co/EZL8l2IV3l
