At the University of San Francisco (a Jesuit institution not controlled by Jesuits which has been sued numerous times for labor violations), two Latino professors were made to wait 3 years by the Faculty Union before facing arbitrators and agreed to wait that long because their cases against the university were so strong. Then, after the statute of limitations to sue in a law court had expired, two separate arbitrators made their entry and quickly ruled against the two professors in two separate arbitrations issuing simply abominable decisions. Lesson: Stay away from so-called "neutral" arbitrators. As reported by the Washington organization Public Citizen, arbitrators usually rule in favor of the stronger and wealthier party, not the party who is right. Be very careful about Unions that "promise" to support you, too. Arbitration may also be used to manipulate the statute of limitations.
