There has been some minor progress on this front. Arbitration agreements are no longer enforceable if you are sexually harassed or assaulted:
https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/4445?s=7&r=11 https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/4445...
A 20% of the house voted no on it and several Congress critters said in hearings that arbitration agreements are fine because they “voluntarily entered into”. So a lot of Congress people unabashedly serve corporations.
