Working families have won important victories on a range of workplace rights and consumer protections, including a higher minimum wage, paid leave, and protections against predatory loans – but they are meaningless unless they’re enforced.

That’s because powerful corporations are increasingly using forced arbitration to block whistleblowers from filing lawsuits, leaving the burden of policing bad corporate behavior to underfunded public agencies.
