Google is finally ending forced arbitration for its employees. These changes will go into effect for both current and future Google employees on March 21.
While Google won’t reopen settled claims, current employees can litigate past claims starting March 21.
While it’s nice of Google to end this policy, forced arbitration for employees should clearly be illegal in the first place.
I will throw a bomb here and say that Google’s forced arbitration for sexual harassment accusations was part of the liberal modus operandi where a person accused of sexual harassment is considered guilty ’till proven innocent (note: Google’s top management has admitted to be very liberal).
Liberals did a similar thing in US universities, where a mere accusation could throw the accused person out of the university without a single trial in a real court, with the accused person losing all funds paid to the university, but then DeVos stepped in and fixed some of the mess. Which is a good thing (yes, a Republican did a good thing, it happens occasionally), considering that the Rolling Stone article which started this whole panic about US universities supposedly being cesspools of rapists has been redacted.
All in all, it was high time liberals and liberal-led organizations (Google included) recognized the importance of due process and the importance of “innocent ’till proven guilty”.
I always wonder why Americans call this “liberal”.
It has nothing to do with the meaning of the word, from Latin “liber” = “free”, like in freedom.
It is actual the opposite as ones freedom gets suppressed …so you should probably call them “anti-liberals”.
Maybe I should have said “Democrat”.
You shouldn’t have said anything at all as it was a total waste of all our time.
Truth hurts.
@MJ
here we go again:
Said “liberals/democrats” and their understanding of free speech and diversity of options.
You just proved the point.
So let me get this straight: you’re saying that corporations making forced arbitration a condition of employment is a liberal conspiracy? And it was all so that if those (presumably conservative, because why would liberals do this to themselves) employees get accused of sexual harassment the company can shit-can them without having to give them a fair shake?
You actually believe this? That forced arbitration exists as a liberal conspiracy to punish conservatives and not simply to protect the company’s bottom line?
