are barred from suing their employer, including when they are fighting against serious claims such as discrimination, civil rights violations and sexual harassment.Pramila Jayapal The FAIR Act, if enacted, would eliminate companies' ability to use forced arbitration clauses in any employment, consumer and civil rights cases and allow Americans to fight their lawsuits in federal court.

Arbitration agreements like Chase's require consumers and employees to go before an arbitrator or a panel of arbitrators, who may even be hired by the company, to decide the final outcome of your dispute.
