Rep. Johnson seeks to strengthen consumer, employee rights

"This is not an anti-business bill, but a pro-consumer bill," said Johnson. "One of our indelible rights is the right of a jury trial. Guaranteed by the Constitution, this right has been gradually ceded by citizens every day as they purchase a new cell phone, buy a home, place a loved one in a nursing home, or accept a new job. Once used as a tool for businesses to solve their disputes, arbitration agreements have found their way into employment, consumer, franchise and medical contracts."
