Imagine you are a member of the board of directors for a newly-created food service company. As a board member, you are asked to provide your opinion as to whether the company should include mandatory arbitration clauses in the company's employee contracts with its employees. If a mandatory arbitration clause is included in these employment contracts, the company has the power to compel its employees to submit all employment claims to arbitration.

For this discussion board post, please respond to the following questions:

As board member, are you in favor of the company using mandatory arbitration clauses? Why/why not?

Your response should be at least 10 sentences and provide at least 3 reasons/justifications that support your decision.
