This is not far off from people saying capitalism is slavery because in order to avoid starvation you have to work. Your employer can require you to do work otherwise you'll be homeless and starve, therefore it's forced labor. Some people may not want to perform the work that an employer demands, and that's not unusual. No one, besides extremists, would call this coercive. I don't see anything different with arbitration.

- Manuel_D 4y agoI don't recall being treated like a serf in 2018. This ruling is just a return to the status quo before the 2019 CA law that attempted (and now failed) to ban arbitration. Even compulsory arbitration is subject to oversight, people can challenge the impartiality of arbitration and have their results vacated if it really was a skewed decision.
