In this episode of The Valley Current\u00ae, host Jack Russo examines the growing use of mandatory arbitration agreements embedded directly into online job applications. Jack looks at how companies are using click-wrap contracts to move potential disputes out of public court, why clear notice and affirmative consent matter, and how California courts still test these agreements for unconscionability even as federal law strongly favors arbitration. He also explores a major exception under the Ending Forced Arbitration Act, where a sexual harassment claim can potentially pull an entire case back into court. For employers, applicants, and their lawyers, one small checkbox can carry surprisingly large consequences.
