Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title 9 of the United States Code with respect to arbitration.
AI Summary
This bill, the Forced Arbitration Injustice Repeal Act, seeks to amend the United States Arbitration Act to prohibit the use of predispute arbitration agreements and predispute joint-action waivers in employment, consumer, antitrust, and civil rights disputes. It defines these key terms and establishes that the applicability of the new chapter on the arbitration of such disputes will be determined by a court, rather than an arbitrator. The bill would not apply to collective bargaining agreements between employers and labor organizations, except that such agreements cannot waive workers' rights under the Constitution, federal or state laws, or public policy.
