> DoorDash got the bill for the 6,000 claims — more than $9 million.
> DoorDash balked, arguing in court that it couldn’t be sure that all of the claimants were legitimate dashers. The American Arbitration Association said the company had to pay anyway. It refused, and the claims were essentially dead.
How is that legal for binding arbitration? Didn't both sides agree that disputes will be resolved by arbitration?
- itake 7y agoMany companies require you sign a contracting to use their service (or in this case to be employed by them) that says you agree to binding arbitration
- sfifs 7y agoNo longer binding if the company breachs the arbitration clause. They're going to be sued if the issue is real.
- anonymousab 7y agoIt seems simple enough for a binding arbitration clause to simply require the plaintiff to pay, and to tack on additional clauses to indemnify the corporate party.
- Nextgrid 7y agoI would assume that these scum companies would’ve already done so long ago if this was possible.
- ClumsyPilot 7y agoAs much as they might dream of becoming legally invulnerable, I think even in US thats illegal.
- Igelau 7y agoI guess that means they weren't bound anymore.
- JumpCrisscross 7y ago> How is that legal for binding arbitration? It doesn’t appear to be legal. But that would require a court order to enforce the arbitrator’s ruling. Benefit here being, there can be excess damages found against DoorDash if they’re acting in bad faith.
