“This is the fastest moving social change we’ve seen in decades, and it began with individual acts of courage by hundreds of women -- and some men, too -- who came forward to tell their own stories,” the mag's editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal told NBC’s“Today” program.

The move is designed to force employees to give up their right to take collective action against their employer, coercing them into individual arbitration.
