Employees started getting letters sent to their homes officially informing them that employees must give up their legal avenues and accept forced arbitration in order to remain in the employment of JNPR. How nice

Oct 7 is a hint.
Read the bottom of page 3 and top of page 4. WAIVER OF CLAIM JOINDER. It stops lawsuits and class action lawsuits. Seems dodgy to me
Everybody got that letter here in US CA, and while it is incompetently worded and someone from HR or the Exec Team should have -somewhere, somehow- explained where and why this change occurred... I am pretty sure this was legally covered and checked. Your standard employment agreement has an arbitration clause in it. And nowhere in the latter does it say you forfeit the right to arbitration (or to sue the company for that matter).
Country?
isn't it illegal to do this ?
Well it is now in the hands of my lawyer
What if there are suits pending now?
Oct 7 is 30 days from when the email was sent.
Must be some VPs who want to commit illegal maneuvers!
The bit about "if you are still employed on Oct 7" was either incompetently worded or a dire warning...
