That said, employment rights have been eroded too far - The Women & Equalities Committee of the House of Commons got that right. Lets hope that the next government is listening.

Replying to @jamesladdie
3/5 But I believe the committee understates the value of NDAs. In most (not all) cases, they are essential to parties avoiding an expensive and traumatic hearing that neither side wants.
NDAs are not appropriate in many sexual harassment cases (see publications.parliament.uk/p…) but our experience is that some victims want confidentiality. We agree with @jamesladdie QC that is important not to throw the baby out with the bath water.
