American Rights at Work - Big Business Favors Arbitration

Newspaper Ad: Big Business Favors Arbitration

Arbitration is a key part of the Employee Free Choice Act. It’s a fair and effective way for workers to reach an agreement with their employers for better pay, benefits, and working conditions.

Big Business doesn’t like the arbitration provision in the Employee Free Choice Act, because without it, they can use unfair delay tactics to their advantage. But as our new newspaper ad points out, this is the only case where Big Business opposes the use of arbitration. They actually support arbitration in a whole host of cases, including consumer disputes, real estate transactions, personal injury claims, credit card disputes, banking disputes, home construction contracts, health insurance claims, and nursing home injuries.

In other words, Big Business favors arbitration when it’s in their interest to do so, but opposes arbitration when it helps workers bargain for a contract in a reasonable period of time.
