Non-disclosure agreements were designed decades ago as a means to protect trade secrets. Today, they're being overused (and many say abused), and have become an almost de-facto agreement as part of many settlements. From sexual harassment to unfair dismissal and sexual abuse cases, the victim survivors are being legally compelled to stay silent, even among family and close friends. In this episode, Broad Radio’s Jo Stanley is joined by Liberty Sanger and Jessica Dawson from Maurice Blackburn Lawyers, Professor Julie Macfarlane and Wil Strike, Assistant Secretary of the Victorian Trades Hall Council, to talk through the steps being taken across the board to remove these NDAs from settlements.
