Most carriers are going to abide by the laws in their home state. It is up to the employee to read any contract before signing. If you don't agree with the terms of the contract then you are free to either make necessary changes, sign as written or walk away. If the company states that the contract are a condition of employment it isn't duress. It is a condition of employment. You are technically not an employee until you sign the documents. Now, after you are employed it could be considered duress if your company requires you to sign a contract or amendment to a contract, depending on the circumstances.
