People tend to forget just how far laborers rights have come since this country was founded. Business who mistreat their workers should be punished, but we’ve created a cry-baby culture where you have to be a mega-corp just to afford to comply with all the rules and still pay out massive settlements (and afford the insurance), despite following the insane amount of rules. Then the rules actually allow some people who weren’t even harmed to sue for technicalities. Don’t settle. Let these free-loaders sit until after the changes and get nothing. Those with legitimate grievances and respectable attorneys will still have a case afterward and get what they are actually entitled to, instead of what they feel entitled to.
Then why are you seeing more litigation, not less, from employees? Is it perhaps because the systems of employment they operate under our, in some cases, patently unfair.
Take for example the mandatory arbitration agreement business now uses extensively when customers sigh service or employment contracts. If the system is so fair why force, not ask, b but force individuals to give up heretofore legally protected rights? It’s similar to the small print on amusement part tickets that none of us normally read which say that you hold the park or ride operator, or whatever, harmless for any injury or misfortune that befalls you. This wording is useless to protect the operators and I would think the forced-use of arbitration per se in labor contracts specifically will go the same way, and should regardless of the so-called conservative Trump appointed judges.
