Supreme Court Sides With Business in Arbitration Case

WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court put tighter limits on classwide arbitration Wednesday, making it easier for businesses to avoid claims by groups of employees or consumers.

Workers and consumers bound by arbitration clauses automatically waive the right to pursue classwide claims unless their contracts specifically provide for such proceedings, the court held, dividing 5-4 along its conservative-liberal line.

Is anyone surprised the Republican hacks of Scotus favored commercial interests over the individual? The corps pay the arbitrators which is why individuals lose most of the time. SCOTUS worries about their convenience, not your constitutional right to petition the courts. Sham

Bullshit for the big wigs and corporations

The Supreme Court put lighter limits on wide mass arbitrary victimization, thus making it easier for businesses to avoid responsibility by ignoring vast groups of it's victims...be they employees or consumers. Because corporations are people, my friends.

I’d rather have the ability to find a new job than sue my employer.

Well, that’s a shocker

Politics sure works well when we are dealing with “ justice “ for the little guy. Sad

America loses again.

Because a single individual has the same resources as a multi-billion dollar corporation.

Hey/if you think it’s alright for an employee to freeze to death this is nothing

There’s a shocker.

GOP looking out for the working class.

thanks, assholes.

Thanks to Donald J. Trump.
