You may be forced to sign an agreement at your place of employment in which you agree to waive your constitutional rights to take court action against your employer for all grounds, all conditions and in all situations. Regardless of the fact that you could experience a threat of violence, sexual harassment or discrimination, this agreement says that you can not sue your employer or take them into a court of law. Soon, a California Supreme Court will decide if this is legal and the U.S. Supreme Court will review this move in mid-2001. Clark says this is unfair, rotten and wrong since many employees are told that they must sign, or be fired. It places employers in a situation where they become judge, jury and executioner.
Employers are afraid of juries and want the sole power.
