Samantha Bradshaw Signed an Employment Contract with Soaks in the City

Samantha Bradshaw signed an employment contract with Soaks in the City to work as a hot tub sales clerk. The agreement included an arbitration agreement. After Samantha was denied a promotion she filed a charge of discrimination with the EEOC. The manager of Soaks told Samantha that her employment contract requires her to use arbitration to pursue her case instead of going to the EEOC.

A) Samantha cannot pursue her claim of discrimination at the EEOC because she signed a contract agreeing to arbitration.
B) The EEOC can take Samantha's case to court because it was not a party to the employment agreement.
C) The EEOC can represent Samantha in the arbitration of her case because it is the official government agency for resolving complaints of discrimination.
D) If the arbitration hearing is held and a decision is issued before the EEOC takes action it will be the final result for Samantha's claim.
