Pre-dispute forced arbitration agreements — the fine-print clauses that require consumers, workers, and small businesses to give up their right to go to court — would be banned for employment, consumer, antitrust, and civil rights disputes under this bill. Companies could no longer require individuals to waive their right to participate in class action lawsuits as a condition of employment or service. The bill would apply to any dispute arising after its enactment, though existing collective bargaining agreements would be exempt.
