No you can't. All an arbitration clause changes is it forces* you to go through the arbitration process before suing the company. Needless to say, if you don't like the outcome of the arbitration you can sue your employer as normal, and make all those materials public through inserting them in the court record.
The world is full of arbitration processes and mostly they do a world of good.
I've gone through an arbitration process and won against the organisation (mostly against one person with a grudge actually). Also I've helped someone else work through that who went on to a regular court afterwards because she did not feel satisfied about the outcome. She won in the court system.
It is good practice, of course, if you go to normal court after arbitration to analyse the arbitration process in your specific case and prepare an explanation of why the outcome wasn't reasonable.
* unless you can point out a good reason to a judge why the arbitration process itself wasn't reasonable.
- brudgers 9y agoI am not a lawyer. My understanding based some number of years dealing with contracts is that binding arbitration precludes the parties' ability to bring a civil suit in regard to the arbitrated matter.
