“Those who have endured sexual assault and harassment deserve to have their voices heard on their own terms, but mandatory arbitration silences victims and stops predators from being held accountable. This bipartisan legislation ensures that victims can have their day in court if they so choose. I’m grateful for Rep. Cheri Bustos and Rep. Morgan Griffith's leadership on this effort—I’ll continue to work across the aisle to end sexual harassment in the workplace." -Congresswoman Ashley Hinson
