Image: Arbitration Fairness

Where do your Members of Congress stand on forced arbitration? Are they on the side of corporations who take advantage of Americans and evade accountability, or will they work to protect employees and consumers?

In 2005 Jamie Leigh Jones, an employee of Haliburton subsidiary KBR, accused five co-workers of gang raping her, then locking her in a container to prevent her from reporting the attack. She was not allowed to sue KBR because her employment contract said that sexual assault allegations would only be heard in private arbitration - a process that overwhelmingly favors corporations. Recently, Senator Al Franken (D-MN) took a big step towards making mandatory arbitration practices like this illegal with the passage of a Defense Appropriations amendment which denies defense contracts to companies that ask employees to sign away the right to sue.

Now it's up to us to continue the fight. We must urge Congress to pass the Arbitration Fairness Act so that arbitration is always a choice, not a requirement.
