In this eye-opening episode of the Employee Survival Guide®, Mark Carey dives deep into the controversial practice of forced arbitration in sexual harassment cases, revealing the harsh realities that employees face when they are denied their day in court. This practice, often imposed without negotiation, effectively silences victims and allows employers to evade accountability.
