Louise Haigh, a former UK cabinet minister, advocates for banning the improper use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) in low-paid sectors, arguing for equality in protections for all workers. She highlights how such agreements, often misused, prevent vulnerable employees from seeking justice and sharing their experiences, especially regarding workplace harassment. Haigh demands changes to NDA policies, making them consistent with protections in higher education, and plans to present troubling testimonies from affected workers, emphasizing the broader implications on mental health and workplace safety.
"If mental health charities are exploiting this practice to discriminate against people with mental health issues then we have to accept that it is a serious problem in every type of workplace in this country."
"Haigh is campaigning for the government's policy on NDAs to be changed so it aligns with existing protections those employed in higher education institutions receive."
