Over CU Opposition, House Passes Bill Banning Arbitration in Private Contracts

WASHINGTON—Over credit union opposition, the House has passed the Forced Arbitration Injustice Repeal Act (FAIR), which bans arbitration provisions in private contracts, in a 222-209 vote. 

NAFCU, CUNA and other organizations had expressed their opposition to the legislation, stating in a letter that “the use of pre-dispute arbitration clauses in contracts benefits consumers, small businesses, and employees.

“The only clear beneficiaries of broadly eliminating cost-effective and fair arbitration as a viable way to resolve disputes are class action lawyers, who would directly benefit from increased class action litigation,” wrote the groups.
