| Subject: Ugh: Rep. Johnson Hopes to Get GOP Backing for Bill to End Forced Arbitration Wed Mar 06, 2019 10:11 pm | |
| As tech giants like Google and Facebook continue to face scrutiny for their treatment of workers, Democratic-sponsored legislation in Congress is aiming to end the practice of forced arbitration to resolve employee complaints. "This arbitration process is a secret process that employers love, and so workers are uniting against these features in their employment agreements," the bill's House sponsor, Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), told Cheddar's J.D. Durkin. The purpose of the bill, Johnson explained, is to "get at protecting the rights of individuals to seek redress in the courts when they've been harmed, especially in a civil rights setting, a sexual abuse, or a sexual harassment, or sexual discrimination case would be covered under the FAIR Act."
