To all CVS employees, have you acknowledged the arbitration training on Learnet (course 800305)? I know most employees probably didn't even have time to read it while working and blindly acknowledged it.
I hope most, if not all, of you opted out of this agreement. Since CVS is repeatedly sued for labor law violations, especially in California, they decide to come up with this stupid agreement to avoid "class action" or "collective action" lawsuits. This ploy is to avoid them having to pay out all employees involved in similar circumstances. Arbitration also favors the employer than the employee.
Please opt out soon and the only way to do so is by a written, signed and dated letter sent to them. This MUST be done within 30 days or you're legally bound to use an arbitrator of their choosing to dispute legal claims, rather than having to deal with a judge and jury.
1. Forced arbitration takes away your right to file a complaint in a court of law against a company that’s wronged you.
2. Companies want you to arbitrate because the system has been shown to be heavily unbalanced in favor of businesses — who have the legal knowledge, experience, and funding to put up a proper defense — while harmed consumers often enter into the complicated process without legal representation.
3. Most arbitration clauses also take away the right of groups of harmed consumers to pool their similar complaints together, forcing each customer into going through a binding arbitration that puts limits on damages; meaning companies can harm large groups of employees but get away with only paying out to those people who are willing to arbitrate.
All I have to say is CVS is one of the worst companies in the US. They'll do whatever it takes to continue to force their employees to work like slaves and hide these practices from the media by avoiding class action lawsuits.
