Former Fox News hosts Gretchen Carlson and Julie Roginsky joined Democratic lawmakers at the Capitol Tuesday to call for legislation banning employers’ use of non-disclosure and non-disparagement agreements to resolve discrimination complaints in workplace contracts. Carlson and Roginsky both signed NDAs after settling private cases with Fox News over sexual harassment they experienced while working for the network. She added that “organizations that represent business interests,” including the Connecticut Business and Industry Association, had opposed the ban. Rob Sampson, R-Wolcott, also offered a statement via email, in which he expressed opposition to state lawmakers “interfering” with private contracts. We need to show Connecticut that together, all of you coming together, can make this happen and give survivors back their voice.”
