I don't think any company should have forced arbitration for regular employees for anything, but the right place to lobby for a fix to the arbitration problem is Capitol Hill, not memegen.

So, remembering that employees successfully organized to get Google management to end mandatory arbitration, whereas such requirements are still permitted by law, - that was the wrong approach, and employees should have continued waiting (and still waiting today) for congress to act?

Who determines the "right" place?

The "right place and time" to fight corporate power usually turns out to be the most ineffective place and time anyone can think of. It's such an odd and consistent coincidence!
