Is there an upside of arbitration for employees? From what I read it's mostly for the benefit of the company. How is it even legal to forcefully take away the right of settling matters in court?

- aeternus 7y agoThe upside is lower cost for both parties. Courts mostly require a lawyer to successfully navigate. The goal of civil court is to enforce contracts. If both parties agree via a contract to solve any disagreements with 3rd party arbitration, why wouldn't that be legal?
- Tostino 7y agoGenerally employer / employee relationship, the employer has vastly more bargaining power. Obviously this is no absolution, but I wouldn't say that forced arbitration is a fair practice under those circumstances is fair practice.
