Workers Beware: Forced Arbitration Can Happen To You
Monica Revilla worked in a Texas Target retail location in a service position. One day while working, some shelving fell and injured Ms. Revilla. She sought damages for her injuries under the store’s mandatory arbitration provision contained within Target’s “Texas Occupational Injury Benefit Plan.” Incredibly, although Target did not deny that it had imposed a forced arbitration clause upon its employees, the company fought Ms. Revilla’s motion to compel arbitration and won.
