Week 4, Topic #1

Compton v. Merlotte's
When Bill Compton started working for Merlotte Enterprises, he received a copy of Merlotte's Employee Handbook.
As part of his acceptance of employment at Merlotte's, Bill signed a form stating that he received the handbook and
understood its terms and agreed to abide by the terms. During Bill's third year of employment, Merlotte revised the
handbook. One of the revisions was the addition of an arbitration clause that stated that all disputes arising out of
employment with Merlotte would be settled by binding arbitration. Merlotte advised its employees of the specific
changes to the handbook terms and required all employees to sign waivers stating that they read, understood, and
accepted the revised terms. Bill signed this form and continued working at Merlotte's until his employment was
terminated. Bill sued Merlotte alleging various claims of unfair dismissal.
Should the Court hear Bill's claim or is he bound by the arbitration agreement? Discuss the pros and cons and be
sure to refer to the law in your textbook to support your views.
==================================================
NOTE: Everyone will post one substantive response and two participation postings to this topic. There are two
(2) required topics this week. Each one requires a response + 2 participation postings. Thus, by the end of the
week, there will be a total of six (6) postings (3 for Topic 1, 3 for Topic 2).
MANDATORY STUDENT TASKS –
A) Please have the topic number in the subject section of all of your discussion conference postings. For
example, you are going to post your response to Topic #1. You click on that Discussion and then you click on
“Reply” (which is how you post your reply). A box pops up and you have a “Subject” section. Either leave the
existing “Topic 1” in that subject section (or add it if you change the text around). If you want to add a subtitle
to your posting you can (e.g., “Topic 1 – Why I love teams!”, etc.) that is great! The key is to always post the
Topic number. Do not submit a discussion conference posting without the topic number in the
subject. Otherwise, when I go to grade your discussion conferences for the week, it will be very difficult for me
to assign the correct grade (as the number of postings per topic matter and when I pull your portfolio, it is not
clear which topic you are posting to without the title clearly labeling your topic). You do not need to add your
name to the title (e.g., - “Topic 1 – Jane Smith”) but if you want do to so that is fine. I pull up each student
individually so your name is not necessary to add.
(B) Please do not include other posts in your reply (I need to see only your response and not the other
comments that you are addressing). Here is information regarding this issue:
– On your name in the upper right corner of the screen, use the drop down menu and click on “Account
Settings”, then on the Account Settings page click on the tab (right underneath the title) that states
“Discussions”, under Personal Settings scroll down the page to the very last item named “Reply Settings” and
uncheck the box (next to “Include original message text in reply”).

Sub-Topic #1: Bound by ADR?...Say goodbye to full-time jobs with benefits...
Hello Everyone,
Since an employer is provided the benefits of an employee's labor and often compensates them far
below the monetary value they bring to the organization; the tradeoff for that is the employer's
responsibility for the safety, welfare and protection of the employee. If an employer does not want those
responsibilities they can utilize contract labor which is free from harassment, workers compensation and
most other legal protections (including wrongful termination claims). On the other hand, the employer
has much less control over the person. If Bill Compton was an independent contractor there would be
no arbitration clause, no employee handbook, no employment termination and no claim of unfair
dismissal. From the employer's perspective, how is that not a perfect scenario?
Do you think that employers will eventually stop hiring employees because of the costs and responsibilities
and instead just hire contract labor?
“Say goodbye to full-time jobs with benefits
In 2005, the government estimated that 31% of U.S. workers were already so-called contingent
workers. Experts say that number could increase to 40% or more in the next 10 years. James
Stoeckmann, senior practice leader at WorldatWork, a professional association of human resource
executives, believes that full-time employees could become the minority of the nation's workforce
within 20 to 30 years, leaving employees without traditional benefits such as health coverage, paid
vacations and retirement plans, that most workers take for granted today.
"The traditional job is not doomed. But it will increasingly have competition from other models,
the most prominent is the independent contractor model," he said.”
(http://money.cnn.com/2010/06/01/news/economy/contract_jobs/)
If this data in the above article is accurate and the minority of workers will be full time employees are
you prepared for that transition? If you are not currently an independent contractor will you be ready to
become one? How will you handle not having any benefits (no minimum wage, no sick leave, no
retirement benefits from an employer, etc.)? The Affordable Care Act currently provides everyone the
opportunity to obtain health insurance coverage equal to what employer plans provide (lower cost,
fuller coverage, etc.) but there are no other federal protections (in general) for independent
contractors. How do you feel about this transition?

Sub-Topic #1: Bound by ADR?...30 years as an "Exemplary Employee" and fired,
no pension, no retirement all because of an arbitration agreement? Fair?
Greetings All,
Do you think that employees like the one in this article below are getting a fair opportunity for
representation via binding arbitration? Why or why not?
“Fonza Luke had worked as a nurse for Baptist Health System's Princeton Medical Center in
Birmingham, Alabama, for 26 years when the human resources department summoned her to a
meeting about a new "dispute resolution program." Nurses, housekeepers, and lab techs crammed
into a conference room where hospital administrators presented a form and told them to sign.
Signing meant agreeing to submit any future employment-related complaints to an arbitrator hired
by the hospital and waiving the right to sue in court. Refusing to sign meant they'd be fired.
Luke had known the arbitration agreement was coming, and she didn't like the idea one bit—"I just
think it's unfair to be made to do something like that," she says. So before going to the conference
room, she slipped away to a pay phone and called her lawyer. He said, "Don't sign it. You'll be
signing your rights away," she recalls. Luke turned in the form without a signature in quiet protest.
A few weeks later, the hospital again ordered her to sign, and again she refused. Despite repeated
threats, the hospital didn't fire her, at least not then.

Three years later, Luke traveled to Atlanta for a continuing-education class recommended by her
coworkers. When she returned, the hospital fired her for "insubordination" because she had been
cleared to take just one day off, not two. For 30 years, Luke had been an exemplary employee. Her
personnel file was full of praise for her performance; a review three weeks before the firing called
her a "role model." Many of the younger, white nurses Luke worked with had taken unapproved
leave, she observed, and kept their jobs. So Luke filed a race and age discrimination complaint
with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (eeoc), which conducted a lengthy
investigation, upheld her complaint, and recommended that Luke file a civil rights suit in federal
court, which she did in 2003.
That's when the surprise came: Baptist Health argued that Luke had given up her right to sue back
in 1997 when the hospital presented the arbitration agreement—even though she'd refused to
sign. Simply by continuing to show up for work, Baptist's lawyers said, she'd agreed to the terms.
Acting contrary to established contract law, which requires both parties to consent to a contract
before it becomes binding, a federal judge accepted the hospital's argument. Luke was forced to
take her civil rights case before Baptist's hired arbitrator, who dismissed it in short order. She had
no right to appeal. She'd lost not only her job but, because she hadn't yet

Topic 1: Bound by ADR?
Sub Topic 1: Compton v. Merlotte
Should the court bear Bill’s claim or is he bound by arbitration agreement?
Case facts
Bill Compton signed an amendment on employees’ guidebook in his third year of service at
Merlotte. The guidebook included the arbitration clause as dispute resolution means. Bill sign
suggested that he agreed with provision provided by the guidebook. Bill continued to offer
services. Unfortunately, he was terminated. Bill believed that he was unfair dismissed hence
considered legal suit to arbitration which he was subjected to.
Analysis
The signing of an agreement to arbitration was voluntary, and every employee was given
time to consult with their lawyers before signing it. This means that Bill

I agree with Andrew Nortey’s opinion that Bill`s claim should not be heard by the court. I
also agree with your idea that the court should intervene and enquire whether Merlotte made any
legitimate offer and whether it was communicated to Bill. The court should be involved in the
arbitration process to ensure fair play between the parties (Arbitration Fairness Act of 2015).
The arbitration process is commonly used by the employers
