Wow, good law.
Workers need even more protections against these bullshit NDAs.
Good law, though, all of the GOPers who regularly call people groomers and claim Qanon is real voted AGAINST this
Is congress exempt? Because they have hundreds of NDA’s preventing hundreds/thousands of sexual abuse victims of their own from telling their stories.
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander right?
Or is there some provision or clause in their that grandfathers all of Congress’s NDA’s and allows them to be exempt?
Absolutely.
Based on my very quick and limited reading, I don’t see any exclusions for Congress.
It looks like this would invalidate NDAs regarding sexual harrassment and would retroactively apply to already-signed NDAs, but if an NDA is or has already gone through a dispute process, it wouldn’t change that settlement/arbitration. So if you already settled, you might still be bound.
No, they aren’t. Also, do you have a list proving your assertion?
You’re REALLY trying to find a way to justify your groomer Congressional allies’ actions, huh?
When was this money paid out?
According to a report from the Office of Compliance, more than $17 million has been paid out in settlements over a period of 20 years – 1997 to 2017.
How many settlements have there been?
According to the OOC data released Thursday, there have been 268 settlements. On Wednesday, Rep. Jackie Speier, the California Democrat who unveiled a bill to reform the OOC, announced at a news conference Wednesday that there had been 260 settlements. The previous tally did not include settlements paid in 2015, 2016 and 2017.
There you go.
I’m not really sure what you’re talking about but I’m simply a proponent of Congress eating their own dog food.
When they passed Obamacare they excluded themselves.
They do this all the time. It’s a legitimate question and your reaction to my question is all anyone needs to read to see how obsessed you are with arguing with me as opposed to making common sense replies and having a conversation.
When asked to prove your assertion, you failed. In the article you posted, it provides neither any backing for your claim of non-disclosure agreements, nor a list, nor a number of people who’ve been involved in a NDA in Congress. Again, below is your assertion
You failed to provide any substantiation for your claim, proving again that you regularly outright lie.
With nothing pertaining to NDAs involving sexual assault. The $17 million were paid out over 20 years as settlements for sexual harassment claims. Again, the words “non-disclosure” or “NDA” aren’t even in the article once.
So again, prove your assertion or admit you made it up. You clearly stated there were hundreds of members of Congress with NDAs regarding sexual assault. So…where’s the list? Where’s the proof?
Rather than directing any question or ire at the MAGA members, 109 Republicans, who voted against this…you, instead, asked if Congress was excluding themselves and made a claim that there were hundreds of members of Congress who have NDAs regarding sexual assault.
I merely asked you to prove it. I’m not even denying the probability, but you made the assertion and you get to prove it. So far, you have failed to do so
Are you really this naive or are you playing stupid? The reason none of these people have talked after their settlements is because they come with an nda as a requirement. Otherwise, what is the one party paying for? Come on man- you’re a businessman aren’t you?
What do you think they paired for if not for the people’s silence?
The article itself says that a certain portion is sexual abuse related. They just don’t know how much. And how would we ever know buddy? These people are barred from speaking about it.
Stop being stupid to try and win an online argument.
Lmfao
Since 1997, Congress has paid at least $15 million to settle complaints about sexual harassment, racial discrimination, and violations of the Americans With Disabilities Act under the umbrella of the Congressional Accountability Act (CAA) of 1995.
Moreover:
The process by which victims of sexual harassment on the Hill seek justice is long and arduous — it takes up to three months before a formal complaint can be filed. If a settlement is reached, it’s kept secret. The source of the money in the fund is excluded from the standard appropriations budget made public by Congress each year. There’s no process by which voters — or potential employees — can find out who the harassers in office are, what they’ve been accused of, or if they’ve settled with victims before.
I wonder why no one finds out or is allowed to know? How do they keep everyone quiet?
Man- this is so hard to figure out.
Bc they are too busy drinking babies blood!!!
FML you are the biggest moron ever.
NDA dummy.
Ever notice when they don’t have answers and they know they are wrong they either go to personal insults or they just become like teenaged girls.
Ever notice how you make up a conspiracy theory for every subject on the planet? I know you don’t notice it because your intellect is the size of a squirrel. Here’s a tip
You do it every single subject you converse about.
Again, you have zero evidence, whatsoever. Your logic is the reason you haven’t heard about it is because they buy their silence. That’s like saying every single priest has a sexual NDA. You can’t prove it, but the lack of proof is the proof. That’s really the logic you’re attempting. You literally have zero evidence.
So, here’s the step by step here in your logic.
You claimed there are hundreds of people in Congress with NDAs over sexual harassment
Congress, at some point, said they paid $17 million out over 20 years in sexual harassment claims.
You have no evidence as to how many people were involved, who those people were, or even when the last claim was even paid.
Was that $17 million from 1 guy, 3 guys, 14 guys? Are they still there?
You’re making an allegation you cannot prove, yet you’re still trying to with concepts like the silence itself is the proof. I’m not even disputing people on Congress have NDAs on it…just that you can’t prove your own statement. Even that you haven’t the integrity to admit, which is the sure fire sign of a person void of integrity and maturity.
You clearly admitted just there that you have no way of proving your own statement, the statement you refuse to admit you cannot prove.
Can’t make this shit up…just a child in a grown body, truly pathetic
Your claim was:
Again, you show clearly, with each post, that you cannot prove your statement. Prove to me that Congress has “hundreds of NDA’s preventing hundreds/thousands of sexual abuse victims…”.
Zero proof, just an allegation. Where are the hundreds of NDAs? Where’s the list? Hundreds/thousands of victims? Where’s the proof? Was it $17 million or $15 million. Do you have a list of how many people that included? Are they still in Congress? Do you literally have anything beyond an allegation you cannot prove?
Nope.
Guy is exhausting. He thinks people remain silent voluntarily.
I’m done. You’re retarded.
Talk about projection. You can’t prove your point and want to take your ball and go home because you’re too much of a little bitch to admit you made it up.
Was it $15 million over 20 years or $17 million? How many Congressmen were involved? You stated “hundreds” and “hundreds/thousands” of victims. Where’s your list? Show me a single example of proof that hundreds of Congressmen were involved, are still in Congress, and have “hundreds/thousands” of victims.
You can’t, because you made it up. You lied, like usual, and aren’t man enough to own up to it.
Vox spells it out dummy. “After a settlement is reached, it’s kept secret.”
How do you think they keep it secret? Blood pact? Like Omertà? Someone has to go commit a murder?
You’re showing your dishonesty and inability to think logically. Pretty clearly
The point you can’t prove, that you lied about, is…
You can’t prove they are still in Congress, can’t prove there are hundreds, can’t prove there are hundreds/thousands of sexual abuse victims…but, if we start listing some we know about, they are oddly on your team. Interesting. I wonder how much Dennis Hastert cost. I wonder how much Mark Foley cost.
In fact, your team seems to have a serious problem with sexual abuse
And this guy accuses others of moving goalposts lol.
