This has been rolled back. [[Arbitration]] has been promoted as a more economical alternative to lawsuits. But in practice, corporations force workers into arbitration, often with clauses prohibiting appeal to the justice system. Usually with arbitrators selected by and paid for by the corporations. When corporations disagree with each other, they do not head for arbitration: they head for the courts. But that's too good for their workers. === Corporate Privilege === * Which bankers went to jail over the Great Recession? * Which bankers went to jail over the enormous frauds in securitization of the mortgage industry and subsequent foreclosures? * Who has gone to jail over violations of election contributions laws? * Unreasonable extension of copyright to benefit Disney and other corporate copyright owning giants, removing the promise of public domain for decades. == What Has Continued == === War Making For Capitalist Benefit === == What Has Been Resisted So Far == == What Has Been Overturned == === Some Medical Industry Market Failures === * Obamacare == What They Are Trying To Change Now == === Education === <!-- DPL has problems with categories that have a single quote in them.
