Plain-English Summary
The legislation would prevent employers from requiring workers to sign agreements that force them to resolve workplace disputes through private arbitration instead of going to court or filing complaints with government agencies. This would give employees more options when dealing with issues like wage theft, discrimination, or unsafe working conditions, allowing them to pursue cases in public courts where there's typically more transparency and the ability to appeal decisions. The change would primarily affect workers across all industries and the companies that employ them.
