What are unfair trade practices that affect employees or consumers?
Adhesion contracts, i.e., “take it or leave it” agreements, systematic breaches of contract, high-pressure tactics, and taking advantage of disparate knowledge are all practices that may affect employees or consumers disadvantageously. This includes practices such as intimidating customers, refusing to let customers leave until they sign contracts, filing collection lawsuits in improper forums or in technically proper forums distant from the residence of the consumer or place where the contract was signed.
