Al Franken, forced arbitration

Al Franken got his first amendment passed! It requires federal contractors to allow employess to bring sexual assault complaints to court rather than force arbitration. Forced or mandatory arbitration has become ubiquitous in both consumer contracts and employment contracts. Even small business entrepreneurs are finding themselves cornered and ripped off by it. Mandatory arbitration is antithetical to any precept of fairness or justice. The courts have been starting to challenge forced arbitration requirements and perhaps capital hill will continue doing so as well.
