• contract not unconscionable when plaintiff failed to suggest that he would not have signed the agreement absent pressure from the defendant
• an employer gives sufficient consideration when it bargains for an employee’s promise to arbitrate in exchange for its assent to be bound by the arbitrator’s decision
• agreement saying that acceptance was “in consideration and as a condition of [employment],” and employer’s promise to arbitrate all claims was sufficient consideration
