Due to continued internal and external pressure, Google ended forced arbitration for all employee disputes!https://techcrunch.com/2019/02/21/google-ends-forced-arbitration-for-employees/ …

Google used to force its employees to sign an agreement that they would take legal disputes to private arbitration (no judge/jury/public oversight). Workers are less likely to win in private arbitration and, if they do, they tend to get less money.https://www.vox.com/technology/2019/2/22/18236172/mandatory-forced-arbitration-google-employees …

It's kind of sad they had to "end" this when they shouldn't have been doing it to begin with.

Forced arbitration clauses need to go. They prevent employees hurt on the job from seeking justice in regular civil courts. Why did their unions allow this in the first place? Oh, that's right. There ARE no unions. All the more reason for the civil court system as last resort.

That is clause was even enforceable to begin with is, from a european perspective, quite frankly mind boggling.

Would you still have a job at Google, were it not for forced arbitration, James?
