The Sunlight In Workplace Harassment Act


Wouldn’t it be great if public companies were responsible to the public, including shareholders, for harassment and discrimination and couldn’t sweep it under the rug to allow it to continue? So far this bill, the Sunlight In Workplace Harassment Act, has only Democratic sponsors. “‘We are in a moment in American history where people are coming together to say enough,’ Senator Warren said in a release. ‘But there won’t be real change until harassment in all corners of the country is exposed and the harassers are held accountable. Our bill will help unmask secret settlements that provide cover for the powerful to get away with abuse, harassment, and discrimination, while simultaneously protecting accusers’ privacy. Congress has a responsibility to pass it right away.’”
