Truly disgusting -- so unimaginably perverse injustice that I can't imagine a coherent lucid defense being presented that this should be legal, though if you have one please prove me wrong. If you want to protect rights, it's vital to not only have a statute against certain entities violating them (primarily government), but to ensure people cannot sign them away. If something is permitted, it will occur -- there will always be people desperate enough or uninformed enough to agree to anything that's permitted for them to agree to, and all of a sudden your rights only exist if you're wealthy enough to avoid being forced into a contract like this. In our case it's become so ubiquitious that in job offers, not having binding arbitration is a perk -- companies sometimes choose to allow their employees the ability to exercise their rights in order to attract better talent. That's not good enough.
