“There are certain things about arbitration that frankly actually are more beneficial for the people bringing these claims than they are the employer,” Frank Morris an employer lawyer with Epstein, Becker, Green said.

Morris defended employers in these cases. He said if they go to court it could be easily dismissed. Morris said an arbitrator will almost always give both sides the chance to be heard. He believes there is a common ground for handling these cases.
