Well this is eleventy-million kinds of Fucked Up. @latimes.com (who once contracted with me as a freelance reviewer and whom I struggled to get paid by) asserts that *merely reading its website* constitutes a permanent waiver of your right to sue it under *any circumstances*.

I may have asked this question a few weeks ago after noticing a suspicious increase in emails all coincidentally about changes in user agreements. Every single company wrote about going to arbitration and waiving the right to sue in class action. bsky.app/profile/vict...

Must be nice for that to be an option. I don't recall a single employer I've worked for NOT having that as part of the onboarding document package.

I've never signed one this aggressive before. It was written to cover everything and claims to be "mutual" for what i assume is legalese BS definition of mutual. I was more or less compelled to sign (ny other option was quit the job) and could not hire my own lawyer to negotiate any terms.

Civil rights law violation and family medical leave law violations all will now go to arbitration, supposedly. I've never seen these terms because no company I've ever worked at has even sort of pushed boundaries on the easy stuff like that.
