Legal Question in Employment Law in California
I was employed with Aerojet for many years until Norhtrop Gruamman took over. Aerojet did not have a Mandatory Arbitration agreement but Northrop did. I never signed this agreement but Northrop's lawyers say I am bound by this agreement because I continued my employment, regardless of wether or not i ever actually sigend the aggreement. I was fired and am currently fighting this. I am bound by this mandatory arbitration agreement

You may have a legitimate argument that you did not agree to the forced arbitration, but no one can answer your question without knowing the facts and circumstances surrounding your becoming a Northrop Grumman employee and without reading the agreement itself.
These, almost inevitably, become issues for a court to decide in a petition to compel arbitration. If you decide to fight it, you will need to hire experienced employment law counsel to represent you in court, in an effort to convince the court that you are not a party to the mandatory arbitration agreement or that the agreement is substantively or procedural unconscionable.
