More details to this question:
I asked the company to vest the account and they refused. I then asked them to add it to my severance package and the refused again. The severance agreement allows arbitration for any disputes. Do you think its possible to win an arbitration against a company?

You should consult with an experienced employment attorney so that he or she can review your severance agreement and gather additional facts. However, the retirement account is probably governed by a federal law that would prohibit the employer from allowing you access to unvested benefits.
