Airbnb ends forced arbitration for discrimination and harassment for staff
Airbnb Inc., following Alphabet Inc.’s Google, Facebook Inc. and Uber Technologies Inc., said it would not force employees who filed sexual harassment claims to settle those cases in private arbitration. Airbnb also said it would not require employees to use arbitration in cases involving discrimination, which includes racial, gender, religious and age inequity.
That policy differs from some other companies which have rolled back forced arbitration rules, but only for sexual harassment cases.
