So if you don’t want to sign away your right to a class action lawsuit, the unspoken thinking goes, don’t take a job that requires it.
JJ: These forced arbitration clauses that the report projects, by 2024, 80% of private-sector, nonunion workers will be covered by these forced arbitration clauses.
And these clauses also have what’s called “class action bans” or “class action waivers,” which means that you—as you say—you cannot join with others, you have to only litigate your dispute individually, your small claim, let’s say.
And despite all the shenanigans about misclassification of workers, contract workers have been organizing for decades.
And there’s been a groundswell of organizing among low-wage workers, high-tech workers, and much of it is led by women of color.
