Keviin,

You are correct that arbitration is not a magic bullet. As with all arbitration, for it to work it must be agreed to by both parties and it must be binding and once a decision is reached it must be enforced in a court of law, but the enforcement is much simpler. There is usually no trial. The rules of evidence are not meager. And the suit to enforce the award is much like the enforcement of a promisorry note. You signed the agreement. This is the result. Now pay the piper.

But to my way of thinking. The most important thing is not the collection of small awards, but rather to shine a light on which companies and which abstractors meet their obligations. With this type of process there is no need to worry about potentially slandersous "Sh*t Lists" and the I really thing the we could separate the wheat from from shaft when it comes all the abstrators who complain here of non payment and all the companines who complain of non performance as a reason for said non payment.

Does anyone else have thoughts on this matter?
