Employment
Prior to beginning this discussion, review this week’s weekly lecture. Many employers today are asking employees to sign an agreement that requires mandatory ADR for work related disputes prior to commencing employment. The ADR could be mediation or arbitration.
In your initial post, evaluate the pros and cons of mandatory ADR provisions in an employment contract and set forth reasons why so many employers are now requiring ADR provisions. Do you think employment should be contingent upon the employee signing the agreement? Support your evaluations using at least two scholarly and/or credible sources about the proposed amendments.
