in the past three days, the New York Times has published two informative articles about arbitration & the privatization of our [corrupt] judicial system. 

The first article was published on October 31, 2015 and is titled “Arbitration Everywhere, Stacking the Deck of Justice” [http://nyti.ms/1KMvBJg]. The second article was published on November 1, 2015 and is titled “In Arbitration, a ‘Privatization of the Justice System’” [http://nyti.ms/1kkstih].

The timing of these articles couldn’t have been any better since I’ve raised these issues, in part, in my petition for a writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court against my former employer, William Morris Endeavor Entertainment.

WME and Loeb & Loeb LLP’s Response Waiver [October 21, 2015]:

Most people do not know what arbitration is, but many of us have signed these unconscionable, pre-dispute contracts that remove potential lawsuits from the courts and thus, prevent impartial juries from deciding the merits of potential disputes that may arise. As the first article indicates, the “deck of justice” is “stacked” in favor of corporations and others with superior bargaining power who spend a lot of money with private, quasi-judicial forums like the American Arbitration Association to decide potential disputes with their employees. Many employers, like William Morris, are using these contracts as savvy, legal loopholes to avoid the full legal repercussions under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for their intentional violations of our nation’s antidiscrimination laws.

I know you may not have any knowledge or interest in American law, the U.S. Constitution, etc., but PAY ATTENTION! Our most basic and fundamental human and constitutional rights are being stripped from us all!! Please read both articles or at the least, view the video that’s included in the second article. We must demand that Congress pass the Arbitration Fairness Act!!
