The Spin

Narrative A

This is a victory for wronged workers, who for too long have been subjected to a secret system that favors employers and hides systemic problems. This should be the first step toward banning forced arbitration for all types of worker complaints.

Narrative B

Although this may help reduce inappropriate workplace behavior, it will unfairly burden companies. It opens the door to a host of new litigations, encouraging attorneys to tie harassment into other complaints that are subject to arbitration - legitimately or not - just to push them to court.
