Governor Brown vetoed AB 465 which could have helped put a stop to this with regards to employees having to arbitrate instead of having their day in court. His reason for vetoing AB 465 was that Federal law pre-empts state law. The federal government is too tightly controlled by large corporate interests, and I don't see reform of the Federal Arbitration Act happening any time soon. There are just to many powerful interests with a lot at stake, who would lose if arbitration were reformed at the Federal level. Maybe we should put this on the ballot as an initiative instead. At least it would send a message. The problems with arbitration is that it does not affect court precedents, the records are private, and there's no jury involved. This all weighs heavily in favor of the employer over the employee.
