Arbitrators statistically award employees far less damages than juries. Lastly, arbitrators are less inclined to award punitive damages to punish and make an example of employers. To put it another way, after years of battles, the employers have won the war. There are numerous articles posted on the Net discussing the pros and cons of binding arbitration. Typically, sites that are pro-employer post articles trumpeting the advantages of binding arbitration.
Sites favoring employee rights and fairness express positions against binding arbitration.
