I dislike forced arbitration clauses as much as anyone, but I find it an untenable stretch to imply that third-party sellers are in any way in an "employment" relationship with Amazon, in fact applying the common "are you an employee" tests I don't see any that apply.

> Every seller pays a monthly flat subscription rate, and referral fees for every sale of typically 15 percent, though they can range higher depending on the goods. Sellers also pay to use “Fulfillment by Amazon” (FBA), where Amazon handles customer service, storage, and shipping through its vast logistics network. Well, I've never worked anywhere and paid for the privilege.
