Title: Access to Justice in Employment Arbitration: a Critical Look
Abstract: As one of the editors of this book has argued, arbitration of employment disputes through company-promulgated programs can provide a mode of dispute resolution accessible to, and resulting in a hearing for, employees with incomes and claims that generally do not attract private lawyers. However, reviewing data from the files of a leading arbitration provider, Colvin and Pike suggest in this chapter, though without controlling for possible systematic differences between employees obtaining a hearing in arbitration and employees whose claims survive to trial in court, that employment arbitration results in lower average recoveries than obtainable in private litigation and that arbitrators are showing greater receptivity to entertaining dispositive motions.
