  A federal judge has ruled against Amway Corp. in a class-action complaint filed by 27 former salespeople, or independent business owners.

  The ruling says Amway must stop forcing its one-time distributors into arbitration over disputes between the two parties.

  The independent distributors had filed a complaint against Amway asking the court to stop Quixtar, Amway's e-commerce business, from "harassing and intimidating plaintiffs ... with repetitive arbitrations asserting trumped up violations of Quixtar's unilaterally-enacted ... trade secret rules."
