Arbitration is like a trial.
Someone else makes a decision between the parties. Stair step' begins with mediation, with the provision that binding arbitration will follow if the conflict is not resolved to the satisfaction of both parties. ADR methods are often used in cases being brought by employees against their employers for wrongful termination, discrimination or sexual harassment. Even if the company is convinced the case is unfounded, it still run some risk of losing and the jury award being so significant that it could put them out of business. That is much less likely to occur with mediation or arbitration.
