Should mandatory employment arbitration be illegal?

[Barret]

Does anyone else feel that mandatory arbitration agreements should be illegal?

Specifically I am talking about when an employer requires as a condition of employment an employee to sign and agree to have an arbiter handle any disputes rather than a court. Essentially resulting in a near total inability to bring an employer to court whenever you would have reason to. (i.e. discrimination, pay issues, injury, etc.)

I think congress should make mandatory arbitration illegal, as well as any attempts by an employer to prevent the formation of a union. I also think it should be law that an employer can not drug test an employee unless there is valid reason to suspect drug use.
