Agreeing to an arbitration clause seems to have been critical mistake for this onion.

Arbitration is a scam in any other context besides b2b where parties have similar bargaining power.

I bet union can't even appeal this pro capital decision either.

Arbitration is pretty much always a scam. Even in b2b settings, a lot of those contracts are not between parties of equal power.

Like, if a small business sets up a business account at a major office supply company, that’s a pretty common example of a b2b contract where the parties have very different power.

I seem to remember seeing something about a few churches / religious organizations trying to use arbitration clauses to avoid going to trial for things like sexual harassment, too.

jeffw OP ,

Oh 100%. Employers put that stuff in all the time, so I’m sure churches would with their staff too
