Two years later, after she was injured on the job and took leave to recover, she was fired. She filed a complaint for disability discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which gave her a "right to sue" letter.

b. dismissed the suit because it must be filed in state court.
c. dismissed the suit because of the arbitration agreement.
d. allowed the suit to proceed because arbitration clauses cannot limit the ability to file suit in federal court, only in state court.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is c) dismissed the suit because of the arbitration agreement

Explanation:

The court dismissed her suit becasue she signed a contract which had an arbitration clause which bound her that she should resolve any dispute through arbitration. If you sign an arbitration agreement you cannot sue your employer, but the agency can investigate, encourage you and your employer to settle, and even sue your employer on your behalf (although these lawsuits are exceedingly rare). It is legal for your employer to rescind a job offer if you refuse to sign an arbitration agreement.
