NDA designed to cover up crime should be invalid, easily solved in my mind
Was going to agree with you and then I read other peoples thoughtful replies, and they’re right.
Mine, and your kneejerk reaction doesn’t solve the current situation - and there are already laws around NDA’s and criminal activity, see here.
If a company is hiring in a celebrity and the celebrity is working for that company then perhaps make sure that the company is wholly responsible, with proper repercussions, financially, commerically and criminally if neccessary. Also make it that the company is still responsible if the Celeb is hired through third parties and through different hiring structures - the responsibility still heads up recursively to the top. There should be no hiding behind ‘we didn’t know’ or ‘this information didn’t make it up to the board’ - they should, and have people in place to stop it as early as possible.
It’s funny how TV Crews have to go through a multitude of videos, presentations and online Q&A’s to protect the company against bullying / Sexism / Racism / Bribery etc but yet they never once put someone in place in a production to oversee and prevent this early.
The only way to prevent this is to make sure that heads of the companys bare the responsibility for hiring someone known for this sort of behaviour. You need to make Corporate terrified of having sex pests on a crew.
However, much of that type of behaviour is not criminal.
If what they are doing is not illegal but wrong and victimising people, perhaps the law should be revised
Not remotely practical however. Much of it is so low key or cumulative it’s only when taken en masse that a pattern of behaviour becomes apparent.
There does need to be better safeguarding implemented in the workplace. That can be done.
