Comments on: New Legislation Bans Artibtration In Federal Defense Contracts http://www.todaysworkplace.org/2010/01/20/new-legislation-bans-artibtration-in-federal-defense-contracts/ Sun, 05 Feb 2012 04:46:42 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Charles Read http://www.todaysworkplace.org/2010/01/20/new-legislation-bans-artibtration-in-federal-defense-contracts/comment-page-1/#comment-56163 Charles Read Thu, 21 Jan 2010 20:18:26 +0000 http://www.todaysworkplace.org/?p=2892#comment-56163 Do you understand why arbitration had become the way companies preferred to operate? Think "Trial Lawyers"! This protected class of blood suckers are always willing to take the most minor claim and inflate it into a multi-million dollar jury settlement of which they get a third to a half. (With no conflict of interest?) I doubt very seriously if any court would uphold binding arbitration, as the court did not, in the face of criminal acts including kidnapping. So the Franken amendment is a waste of paper and a further erosion of the right of people to negotiate with an employer. Let the government control every aspect of your life. Beware of what you ask for. Do you understand why arbitration had become the way companies preferred to operate? Think “Trial Lawyers”!
