In many companies, new employees must sign a promise to settle all job disputes in the private courts that operate according to the efficient and rational standards of the American Arbitration Association. Ideally, all civil rights laws would be repealed and a free market in labor restored. Absent that, mandatory arbitration has proven useful in keeping labor markets somewhat free. Private courts lower costs for everyone, and prevent the absurdities of class action suits. The case of Denny's is illustrative.
Juries too award absurd levels.
It is easy to see why 100 large companies have already made the switch, and thereby avoided arbitrary and capricious government justice. In five years, half of all employees may be bound by such contracts. Of course they do. That's what makes them so admirable. They restore a modicum of employer autonomy and consumer sovereignty.
