Did any of Jamie’s lawyers mention this in the lawsuit?

Further, as the arbitrators attitudes are known to the companies that select them only those with a pro company position will endure so again the employee is at a disadvantage. Therefore if the system isn't fair at the start the employee will not get a proper hearing or judgement. The Chambers of Comerce support corporations, that is where they derive their members and money. What position do you expect them to take? All arbitration clauses must be removed. All disputes must be settled in fair courts. The price of injustice is too high for any society to endure.

I can believe a group such as the Chamber of Commerce continues to work against the rights of persons but will support predatory corporate behavior. Where is their outrage when the public gets screwed and the CEO's CFO's and Boards of Directors that were responsible for oversight still get to keep thier jobs? I support Jamie Leigh Jones and her continued struggle to get justice and Senator Franken for taking up this good fight. Why our generals have a continued aversion to due process is typical.
