Riot Games Refuses to Move Arbitration Clause for Current Employees

Employees of League of Legends developer Riot Games are protesting over the company’s forced arbitration clause for current employees. The arbitration clause forces all complaints against the company by current employees into private arbitration, effectively blocking the employees from suing the company. However, according to Bloomberg, Riot Games keep arbitration clause despite employee protest. “Ultimately, given the complexities of ongoing litigation, we will not change our employee agreements while in active litigation,” Riot said Thursday in a statement released after a town hall with workers at its Los Angeles headquarters. “We know not everyone agrees with this decision, but we also know everyone does want Riot to continue to improve. The company plans to create a council on diversity and inclusion, and has invited “a diverse group” of employees to take part in reviewing aspects of its code of conduct."
