@SenGillibrand The bipartisan legislation will prevent perpetrators from being able to push survivors of sexual harassment and sexual assault into the secretive, biased process of forced arbitration.
@SenGillibrand In addition to ending the practice, the legislation will also invalidate existing forced arbitration clauses that prevent sexual assault and sexual harassment survivors from seeking justice and public accountability under the laws meant to protect them.
@SenGillibrand We first introduced the bill in 2017, and it has since enjoyed strong support from Majority Leader Schumer, as well as from Judiciary Chair Durbin and Ranking Member Grassley.
The Senate Judiciary Committee passed the bill unanimously this past fall.
