Rights still matter even if you don't exercise them. The presence of those rights can make your employer act better than they would have just because of the increased chance of being sued by some employee. Even if you would have tolerated larger violations of your rights than your fellow coworkers, the least tolerant coworkers protect the rest because they will take action against smaller violations.
Unless one thinks small violations of workers' rights can make themself worse off than larger violations, they benefit from protecting their class rights for the collective effect.
- umanwizard 11y agoI don't think you understood my point. I don't think mandatory arbitration clauses are ideal, and I wish they were banned. That's what you're arguing here and I agree with you The point is that it's overly simplistic advice to say never to sign such a thing, when there are potentially huge upsides (getting a high-paying job that treats nearly all employees well).
