I would be perfectly fine with forced arbitration that was perfectly fair and not skewed towards the employer. The problem with forced arbitration is that it's completely skewed towards the employers. Being able to have a fairly arbitrated conflict that was inexpensive and had looser rules than a formal lawsuit would be a benefit to all. Look at how small claims court is so much more efficient and fair than a regular lawsuit.
- deogeo 8y agoI'd much rather expand the domain of small claims court, than create a parallel, privately-owned legal system. Even if it started out perfectly fair.
- Spooky23 8y agoThere’s no scenario where a legal proceeding between employee and a large company is fair. The main advantage of court is the ability to appeal and the public nature of the proceedings. The only fair fight is if you have a competent union. That comes with its own problems.
- drdeca 8y agoWhat if, instead of aiming at “fair”, we instead aim at “Just”? Edit: if there is a difference, that is. If there isn’t, then nvm.
- JohnFen 8y agoYes, at the heart of it, this is the problem. As an employee, an arbitration clause realistically means that the only recourse you have is through what amounts to a kangaroo court run for the benefit of the employer.
