Nondisparagement and nondisclosure agreements can let harassment fester, ABA warns
"The ABA is calling for an end to nondisclosure and nondisparagement agreements in employment contracts that “limit an employee’s ability to disclose information underlying claims of workplace harassment, discrimination or statutory workplace rights violations.”
The House of Delegates voted in favor of Resolution 508 on Monday at the ABA Annual Meeting.
Nondisclosure agreements are contract clauses preventing employees from disclosing specific types of information about their employer. Nondisparagement agreements don’t allow employees to speak badly about their employer—even if what they reveal is true."
