I'm inclined to agree with the other reply to this comment, from cepth. That said, your opinion is well-supported by today's ruling that upholds employment contracts that require binding arbitration for legal disputes, despite overwhelming evidence that arbitration is biased against workers.
The pro-arbitration view is a conservative opinion: that contracts should be as unregulated as possible.
Already there is pressure to remove arbitration from white-collar employment contracts (Uber notably gave into pressure from womens engineering advocacy groups, lead by Susan Fowler).
Lower-wage workers, however, will likely see an expansion of arbitration clauses, as will general consumer contracts. If I understand correctly, all cell phone carriers now require legal rights be waived in place of arbitration in order to get service.
