I’m getting fired tomorrow because I won’t sign away my rights

Hey folks, Long time lurker, and admittedly on some level pleased that it's now my turn to have one of these. Our company has rolled out more HR policies, one of which is a binding Arbitration Agreement that prevents you from suing the company from any workplace disputes, from wage theft to wrongful termination, you can't ever get before a judge, but instead are forced in front of an Arbitrator that has a financial incentive to rule in favor of the company to gain a repeat customer.

Hey folks,

Long time lurker, and admittedly on some level pleased that it's now my turn to have one of these.

Our company has rolled out more HR policies, one of which is a binding Arbitration Agreement that prevents you from suing the company from any workplace disputes, from wage theft to wrongful termination, you can't ever get before a judge, but instead are forced in front of an Arbitrator that has a financial incentive to rule in favor of the company to gain a repeat customer. These proceedings are not public record, not subject to judicial review, limit discovery, and generally give companies much more leeway to fuck us over as employees.

I declined to sign the Arbitration Agreement, and was told on Monday my continued employment depended on my signature.

I will not sign away my goddamned Constitutional Right as an American to seek redress for grievances in the public court system regardless of it's myriad of flaws and biases to these bloodsucking leeches just so they can save a little more on their bottom fucking line when they should be paying employees more for harm done.

We need to put a stop to this shit, and if I gotta lose my job so be it.
