I don't get it, isn't the arbitrator supposed to be an unbiased third party? Whether or not he's chosen by the company should be irrelevant.

  Yes, but for a someone to be truely unbiased they need to be completely independent. If there's any sort of relationship to either party they will be biased somehow. A good approach would be the random selection of a few members of the general populace, or the use of a third party skilled in legal matters with payment guaranteed no matter what the verdict. It's like we've seen this problem before

  > Whether or not he's chosen by the company should be irrelevant. This only holds if the people at that company are morally-perfect robots who never make choices subtly biased in their own favor.

    In a perfect world it wouldn't matter, because the arbiter would be neutral.

      "A perfect world" is irrelevant.

  Do you think the arbitrator would like to be chosen by the company again in future?
