Post: Arbitration
Posted by lauren on 9/21/02
Be careful when signing any agreement. We are all slowly losing our CONSITIONAL right to our trial by a jury of our peers by unwittingly signing contracts in which we waive our right to jury trial. By doing this we are giving the opposition the upper hand and we are losing the strongest leverage we have. THE POWER OF EXPOSURE!!! Arbitration is secret and the arbitrators have no accountability to the public as judges do. They can do what they want without fear of losing their position. Most of the arbitrators are hired and paid for by 'big business' and therefore have allegiance to them. Want to get a fair ruling through an arbitrator? Forget it! This most basic constitional right is eroding before our very eyes......and no one knows it. If Karen Silkwood had signed an arbitration agreement............people would still be dying!
