my employer wants me to sign an employment arbitration agreement. Have you ever heard of an employee demanding that an employer sign an arbitration agreement? what company would want to take away rights of the employee and what company reduces their employees pay at their discretion?? seem scamish to me as of if they have something up their sleeve

Employers take the position that we as employees do not know our rights especially at will employees. An "At will employee;" in simple terms is a non-union non -collective bargaining employee. My take on what you are being asked to sign is you are giving up legal rights you are entitled too.
As an "At will employee," your employer is free to reduce your salary and benefits without notice. Some states have laws protecting employees from such abuse. This agreement is and end run around those laws.
By not signing this agreement you can expect your employer to threaten you with if not actually terminating your employment. My suggestion is you start looking for a new job and stall as long as possible before not signing that agreement. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
