&gt; law prohibits companies from requiring employees in California to sign non-disclosure agreements that bar them from speaking about illegal harassment and discrimination.<p>If I understand this correctly, NDAs can still require them to stay silent about <i>other</i> illegal acts, just not harassment or discrimination?<p>In my opinion, we should take the opposite approach - NDAs should be limited to a whitelist of topics, and including anything else in the NDA text should not only be unenforceable, but prosecuted as an illegal attempt at intimidation of less legally-savvy employees.
