How do I get necessary information regarding an employment arbitration hearing ifopposition counsel does not want me to have it?
I am a claimant in an arbitration hearing, trying to get information on a discovery request. The case is retaliation, and the 4 parties that retaliated against me, have all been terminated in the same week last December. I am trying to get both their termination dates and the termination codes for these people. The lawyer on the other side will not give it to me. Is there some way I can get these? I know I will have to have the judge decide this as a last resort. Maybe it is my approach or is there legal case I can reference to force this information?

You will need to talk to legal counsel in California about helping you because while certain case law regarding arbitration issues may be out there, only a lawyer representing you in your particular situation looking at the facts can help you research proper law. If you cannot afford legal counsel, you can certainly try to work with legal aid or pro bono legal services at the California State Bar to help you. You can subpoena documents, but again, you need to obtain the proper forms and have it properly served to get those documents.
