The Arbitrator almost surely paid by HCA.

It’s a pretty sure bet the only reason that an Arbitrator was used was because it’s required by a contract, and required by the hospital. Extremely unlikely the Union would specifically request arbitration rather than a regular trial, they are notorious for siding with big businesses. Also I likely the Union paid for that Arbitrator.
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.
Oh 100%. Employers put that stuff in all the time, so I’m sure churches would with their staff too
Dissolve union. Evade penalty. Create new union. Profit.
I like your thinking! Also, delete your comment for legal reasons 😉
You’re only allowed to be right about one thing at a time. That’ll be six-and-a-quarter million dollars for your arrogance, and also how dare you?
Can someone post a non-pawall version please
