SAN FRANCISCO - Six Google employees on Thursday joined U.S. lawmakers to support bills that would ban mandatory arbitration in employment and consumer contracts, as the workers seek to build on recent success in getting the Alphabet Inc company to drop some arbitration provisions.
Mandatory arbitration, which prevents people from taking disputes to court, has become a big target for workers’ rights activists in recent years. They have expressed concern that requiring private arbitration helps businesses facing harassment and discrimination allegations to avoid public scrutiny.
The Forced Arbitration Injustice Repeal Act and several pieces of related legislation would ensure individual and class-action lawsuits are an option in a variety of disputes, members of Congress said at the news conference. Democratic lawmakers have attempted to curtail mandatory arbitration before but have struggled to gain support from Republican colleagues.
