Arbitration isn’t necessarily bad for workers. Arbitrators tend to split the baby. So, if you have a weak case, you may come out ahead.

  Employees only win some 20% of arbitration cases. It seems incredibly unlikely that 80% of cases are employees going through all this outlandish effort just for bogus claims. And if 20% is considered splitting the baby, I tremble to imagine what part the employee ends up with.

    20% is far better than 1% https://www.fastcompany.com/40440310/employees-win-very-few-civil-rights-lawsuits https://www.fastcompany.com/40440310/employees-win-very-few-...

      1. That is only "civil rights lawsuits", probably one of the hardest kinds of cases to win. 2. You left out the 78% "likely settlement" category. Many of those are victories for the employee, just not the maximum possible victory.
