In the Dark<p><strong>Non-Disclosure Agreements in the&nbsp;UK</strong></p><p>About a year ago, I posted <a href="https://telescoper.blog/2024/07/24/banning-non-disclosure-agreements-in-sexual-harassment-cases/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">an item</a> about a change to Employment Law in Ireland that effectively bans the use of Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) in situations involving allegations of discrimination, victimisation, harassment and sexual harassment. When I posted this, the change had not come into force, but it has now. I think this is a very good move.</p><p>There aren’t many reasons to praise the current UK Government, but it seems they are proposing <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c93kwgzz88qo" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">something similar</a>, through an Amendment to the Employment Rights Bill, although the change has not yet come into effect and will not do so until the Bill becomes an Act.</p><p>The legislation will state that an employer shall not enter an NDA with an employee where the employee has made allegations of discrimination, harassment or sexual harassment. In my experience, NDAs are currently the default in such cases. I know of many examples in the UK where such legal instruments have been used to prevent victims of harassment from speaking publicly about their experiences, thus enabling harassers to move elsewhere without anyone knowing what they had done. This ploy is also seen by Management as a way of preventing reputational damage, although it does not seem to me to be a good way of doing that, as the truth has a way of coming out anyway and the effect of hiding the misconduct when it does causes more reputational damage than the harassment itself.</p><p>This reminds me of things I wrote a while ago&nbsp;<a href="https://telescoper.blog/2022/10/19/non-disclosure-nonsense-at-leiden-university/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">in connection with a case at Leiden University</a>&nbsp;where the Management decided not to name a professor involved in such a case (who was&nbsp;<a href="https://telescoper.blog/2022/10/25/the-leiden-sexual-harassment-case-update/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">subsequently identified as Tim de Zeeuw</a>). I thought this was a nonsense, for at least two reasons. The first is that I think people who have behaved in such a way should be named&nbsp;<em>as a matter of principle</em>, so that potential collaborators and future employers know what they have done. In previous posts on this topic I had defended confidentiality (e.g.&nbsp;<a href="https://telescoper.wordpress.com/2016/01/13/harassment-and-confidentiality/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here</a>)&nbsp;<em>during</em>&nbsp;an investigation, but I still think that once it has been decided that a disciplinary offences have been committed there should be full disclosure.</p><p>The second is that failing to identify the individual concerned led to a proliferation of rumours inside and outside Leiden (none of which I am prepared to repeat here). As a result, the finger of suspicion was pointed at the wrong people until the name of the abusive Professor was revealed. That made for a very difficult working environment for everyone concerned.</p><p>Of course the new law, when passed, will only apply to cases in the United Kingdom. In Astronomy, as in many other parts of academia, there is a great deal of international mobility. The new legislation would not prevent someone who has engaged in such misconduct in, for example, The Netherlands, applying for a job in the UK without this coming to light. One could hope that other countries follow suit, but the wheels of the legislature are not known to turn quickly in any country that I know of.</p><p>I can sense many Human Resources departments getting very nervous, as the proposed change will render a major component of their modus operandi unlawful. Who knows, it may even encourage them to start tackling the culture of harassment that they have so far been content to hide.</p><p>Finally, I think it’s an important question whether or not this legislation is retroactive. If it is, and past NDAs are declared null and void then it will blow open many cases. I can imagine rather a lot of institutions and individuals getting rather nervous at the prospect of their previously concealed misconduct coming out in the open.</p><p>P.S.

Kim[25.09.2024]<br> Content note: S✨xual harassement<br> <br> I never wanted to announce my engagement nor did I want to ever marry someone. Though, during my bikepacking trip from Germany to Turkey I had to point out several times that I am engaged.<br> <br> I met many kind people who helped me with food, water, knowledge, encouraging words, and shelter. But also I met people who were nice to me because they covertly wanted to have s✨x. All of them were men. Once they invited me for dinner or gave me a hitchhike, they started telling me that I was beautiful, pretty or sweet and asked whether I was married, whether I wanted to stay at their home or hotel etc. I persistently declined &amp; repeatedly told them that I was engaged.<br> <br> None of them physically attacked me. But some crossed my limits by touching my shoulders, hugging me, or giving me kisses on my cheek. Sometimes I was too weak to fight off the harassments. E.g. after I just climbed 2000 meters in the Balkans. I was exhausted. My body could barely move anymore. Nor my mind.<br> <br> It is not about you not being able to fend off their assaults or only about s✨xual harassment in particular. It’s about men not respecting boundaries. For example, one men drank alcohol while he was driving, even though I told him not to. We ended up in a police control. Luckily we didn’t have any accident and the Turkish police was only interested in harder drugs. But it could have turned out differently.<br> <br> Violence against women, non-binary, trans-, inter- and agender folks is commited everywhere on this planet. In some countries more often than in others. But it‘s something present everywhere you go. Regarding the perpetrator it is not primarily about religion. Nor about ethnic affiliation/ascription. And never it is about skin color. It‘s about men. Men harassing, intimidating, hurting, and even murdering non-male persons because patriarchy taught them that they were superior.<br> <br> They are not.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fuckpatriarchy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fuckpatriarchy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/harassment?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#harassment</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sexualharassment?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sexualharassment</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bikepacking?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bikepacking</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cycling?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cycling</a>
