Arbitration clauses need to be deemed illegal.
Especially ones that are mandatory for employment
or at the absolute bare fucking minimum be opt-in only, instead of "opt out by sending us a handwritten letter through snail mail within 45 minutes of this notice." the shit offers less than zero benefit to the consumer and basically lets corporations get away with murder
nothing will ever change to make them go away
Opt in with customers isn't a thing. If you don't opt in, you don't get housing, or Internet, or phone service. The list goes on. Opt in is libertarian propaganda. No different than at will employment.
Yeah, I was gonna say basically the same thing, ‘opt in’ is just a solid point of leverage away from ‘required.’
Should be illegal.
Arbitration has its place in B2B contracts.
With consumers or employees? Absolutely not
If nothing else, they should always be mutual. Have Disney take their copyright claims to arbitration rather than using the other legal channels available to them.
I'm just about to move to Quebec, which is based on the French Napoleonic code rather than English Common Law. I'm not an expert, but I understand that the French system does not rely on precedent in making judicial decisions, but everything has to be codified in the law.
Anyway, another one of the legal differences between Quebec and other provinces in Canada is that mandatory arbitration clauses are illegal.
The medical system may be imploding even faster than the rest of Canada, and my rights as an English speaker may be stripped from me by the time I move, but they do have some protections for individuals.
Merde, j'ai besoin d'aller au Montreal!
(I know that's not quite right, but I'm proud of it anyway 'cause I didn't use machine translation.)
Yes agreed. It should be illegal to compel someone to give up their fucking rights (to their detriment and to the benefit of the person making them agree especially, especially when the person benefitting is an authority figure). This includes police encouraging the people they arrest to talk without a lawyer.
