University professor report finds that 80% of Fortune 100 companies use mandatory arbitration rip-off clauses in employment agreements

A new report authored by Loyola University of New Orleans College of Law Professor Imre S. Szalai, finds that 80 percent of Fortune 100 companies use arbitration in their employment documents, nearly half of which contain class and collective action bans.

Among those companies that use arbitration to resolve employment disputes, at least half force arbitration on employees as a condition of employment.
