Striking down Mandatory Provision arbitration

Post  Admin on Sun Oct 12, 2008 9:28 pm

It's not a secret that just about every employer would prefer arbitrating an employment dispute with an employee rather than facing a trial of jury who is much more driven by emotion and thus - much more likely to award large damages to the aggrieved employee than a conservative judge-arbitrator.
Employee attorneys routinely manage to successfully argue in courts that their clients' arbitration agreements are unconscionable and thus unenforceable, referring the employment dispute back to court for a jury trial.

Here are some of the common reasons your arbitration agreement with an employer might be invalid and unenforceable:
