| Last year Wells Fargo became the first big U.S. bank to do away with mandatory arbitration for sexual-harassment complaints. Now Goldman Sachs is being urged to take a step in the same direction. The Wall Street giant faces a vote at its annual meeting this month on whether it should publish a report about how its mandatory-arbitration policy impacts employees and workplace culture.

The European Union's European Medicines Agency found a "strong association" with the complication, and the bloc's health ministers may soon recommend limiting use to people over 60.
