Why isn't forced arbitration illegal?

We're getting there: https://www.fisherphillips.com/resources-alerts-kentucky-bec...

States still hold a lot of chips when it comes to rulemaking over what is and isn't allowed w/rt employment types and agreements. It's a bit murky though, when it comes to Federal power weighing in on employment contracts at the state level (outside of things you've come to expect like protected classes/EEOC, workplace safety, and accomodations/accessibility for workers with physical impairments).

I thought that SCOTUS already ruled that the federal arbitration act gives states little power in this?

Oh? You may be entirely right, if that's the case, this fact completely eluded me and I'll take the correction.
