Companies use arbitration to cheat you from a trial by jury

A shocking thing I find is that companies are so desperate to avoid legal costs. As part of a condition of employment, they will often have workers sign arbitration agreements; anything to avoid a jury trial. Ironically companies that do this have to pay the cost of arbitration which can end up being expensive if there are thousands of cases against them. But don’t people have the right to a jury trial?
