AAJ Applauds Senate Introduction of FAIR Act to End Forced Arbitration
Washington, DC — The following is a statement from American Association for Justice CEO Linda Lipsen on the introduction of the Forced Arbitration Injustice Repeal (FAIR) Act to end forced arbitration:
"Forced arbitration strips consumers, patients, and workers of the fundamental right to hold law-breaking corporations accountable. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) today introduced the FAIR Act which would ban this abusive practice. We thank him and all of the 39 original cosponsors in the Senate and look forward to a hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Americans’ rights to seek justice must be must be restored by ending forced arbitration." ###
