Google secretly sought arbitration against its former self-driving guru months before the Uber lawsuit (GOOG, GOOGL)

Google had filed two arbitration demands against Anthony Levandowski months before it sued Uber.

Google filed two arbitration demands on October 28 against Levandowski, months before it sued Uber in federal court. In the demands, Google alleged that Levandowski had used confidential employee salary information to poach its employees to both Uber and Otto. The arbitration is still ongoing.

Uber is now using the earlier arbitration demands as evidence that its current lawsuit should be moved to arbitration because so much of Google's case against Uber is centered around the actions Levandowski allegedly took as an employee.
