The Arbitration Atrocity
This bill might make consumers more aware of the arbitration clause but it does nothing to protect them. Here in Wetumpka, Alabama, Nursing homes have inserted arbitration clauses.
Arbitration clauses mean no one is responsible and no one is held accountable. . We have to forfit our seventh amendment rights to have a home in this county. This is a bipartisan issue. The Democrats, on this issue, have a better bill.They address the problem and offer a solution. The present use of arbitration was not the intent of the law. This is a privatization of the justice system. Consumer confidence is at an all time low, and arbitration plays a part in this.
We were forced into arbitration. We were threatened with arbitration. Why would a fair process be use by big business to threaten a consumer? Why, if arbitration is so fair... is it mandatory?
