Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Binding Arbitration

Pre-much every employer in California have Binding Arbitration and employees have signed if they like or not to retain a job. My question is I see a lot of wrongful termination, discrimination, sexual harrassment cases filed lawsuits and sometimes win or settle huge amount of compensation for emotional damages.

If you signed the binding arbitration that means employer has a right to abuse you and violate labor law?

In that case how do Labor attorneys survive pre-much if they don't take cases that has binding arbitration?

I believe I have a strong case of discrimination and wrongful termination.

Opinion is very much appreciated

Re: Binding Arbitration

If you have been illegally discriminated against, an arbitration provision does not stop you from pursuing your case, nor mean that the employer can 'violate the labor law' and get away with it. If you have a valid claim, feel free to contact me to discuss your facts, rights and remedies. I've been handling such cases for over 30 years.
