Ian Carroll filled in for Candace. Excellent investigative report on “arbitration”.

Leftism is better when leftists do it, like John Oliver

Elites secret courts?

Ian Carroll subbing for Candace? The “Elite academia” just had their head’s explode.

Candace is on maternity leave. IDK why Ian gets a bad wrap. He does the work. The show I linked in the OP he said they have been working on over a year.

I am going to watch this. I think Arbitration Clauses should be banned in consumer transactions.

The first 15 minutes Ian goes into arbitration in general and the rest of the show he moves into a specific case. It moves fast.

It’s a subject I’m totally ignorant about. However the cozy relationship between corporate America and AAA seems a little one sided.

And this is another area where MAGA’s main street populism could split with the country club GOPe types.

Without knowing anything specific, I guarantee you Wednesday’s client was handed a stack of papers to sign when they opened the account at Wells Fargo. In there was a forced arbitration agreement that her client didn’t read or understand. Moreover, if she wanted to bank at Wells Fargo (or at all because they’re ubiquitous), she had to accept the boilerplate terms presented to her. That is an adhesioanry contract because the bargaining power of the parties is so out of balance that it really does not exist for one side.

This has been rubber stamped by the GOPe and SCOTUS for decades.

This would be a good area for Trump to seek reform.
