On July 23, a NJ appeals court ruled that the discrimination claims filed by three former Ernst & Young employees must be sent to arbitration. The three judge panel came to this decision after claiming the employees’ demonstrated “acceptance of a mandatory arbitration policy by remaining company employees” (Booth). The plaintiffs claim that the arbitrary language used in the agreement allowed Ernst & Young to unilaterally modify its terms. According to the plaintiffs’ attorney, agreements like these create a legal fiction that the employee actually agrees with the terms.
