TAKE ACTION against forced arbitration!

Did you know that corporations, banks, and even employers throughout America are increasingly inserting forced arbitration clauses in their contracts with consumers, employers, and investors as a way to protect themselves against lawsuits? They are often buried in the fine print of the user agreements you sign when doing business with a bank, healthcare company, car dealerships, mobile phone companies, etc.

THESE CLAUSES DENY AMERICANS THEIR DAY IN COURT!

The House Judiciary Committee has voted to approve the Forced Arbitration Injustice Repeal (FAIR) Act, taking an important step to ending forced arbitration. The National Association of Consumer Advocate's (NACA) press statement is available here.

NACA has additionally sent a letter to the Committee in support of the FAIR Act and published a blog post on forced arbitration which highlights a pending class action filed by Janet Varnell and Brian Warwick.

We expect a floor vote on the bill very soon. Now is the time to take action and send your Member of Congress a letter asking them to support the FAIR Act.
