There's a lot of things here that just seem.. I dunno, immoral? Illegal? There's discussion on my local news channel (no link for this story on their site yet [baynews9.com]) about how this may be struck down, but it does open up a lot of questions in the legal field. What do you folks think? A way to get out of being sued, clever legal manuver or corporate bullshit?

Companies cannot legally take away your right to go to court. No matter what a arbitration clause says. If the company violates their contract with you, be you employee or customer, the contract which covers arbitration is now VOID.

My dafuq cup runneth over.

The fact that they would even try this shows just how fucking broken and in need of a brimstone enema the corporate world is.

The company knows this isn't enforceable but what they are doing is getting people who don't know better to just forget about suing and go through their hand-picked arbitrator. It will cut down on lawsuits and that is their goal.
