Google has said it will end forced arbitration next month and lift a ban on class-action suits after intense pressure from staffers.

At the moment, Google – like many other tech firms – resolves workplace disputes through forced arbitration, which takes employees out of the courts and requires them to waive any rights to sue or appeal. It is seen as a way of getting the claims out of the public eye.
