Cooper v. Mrm Investment Co.

199 F.Supp.2d 881 (M.D.Tenn. 2002)

Facts

Cooper (P) was hired by MRM (D) to work at its Waverly Tennessee KFC. P alleges that while working there, she was sexually harassed by Terry Rogers (D1), one of the owners of D and was then constructively discharged by Ds. P signed a document on employment entitled Arbitration of Employee Rights that required her and KFC to arbitrate. Ds contend that the agreement is one for mandatory arbitration with them. P contends that there was no agreement between her and these defendants and that even if there was it is unenforceable because it requires her to pay a portion of the costs.
