Vulnerable workers are often subjected to workplace abuse and even coerced into signing agreements that force them to settle disputes out of courts of law, effectively stripping away a worker’s ability to fight against wage theft, sexual harassment, and other workers’ rights violations in court. AB 3080 would prohibit employers from requiring workers to sign forced arbitration agreements as a condition of employment, protecting vulnerable workers from coercion.
