Trump Wages War On Women: Silences Accusers

[Ray From Cleveland]

Making it harder to report sexual discrimination and harassment how?

I don't know anything about this order, but from your OP, it seems that DumBama created an order that prohibited companies from settling their matters internally. Trump rescinding that order doesn't stop women from reporting discrimination or sexual harassment to authorities or seek compensation. It simply means that Trump is allowing companies to take care of their own business first.

learn to read, dum dum.


trump is effectively reestablishing an insider safety net for harassers and denying women their right to full legal protection.




"President Donald Trump reversed an Obama-era order that forbid federal contractors from keeping secret sexual harassment and discrimination cases. The 2014 rule prohibited these companies, which employ about 26 million people, from forcing workers to resolve complaints through arbitration, an increasingly common method businesses use to settle disputes out of the public eye."

No dummy. You learn how to read. Nobody can stop any American citizen from seeking legal protection if they are assaulted in any way. If a woman is assaulted or harassed by a male employee, and she is unhappy with company resolutions, she can file a complaint with authorities on that person if he did anything illegal.

What DumBama did was what he always has done during his eight years of torture. He once again decided to micromanage businesses he knows nothing about. The big-eared Commie never ran a hotdog stand in his life.

no dum dum.. the FORCED internal arbitration is legally binding.

No dum-dum, it's not forced. By rescinding the order, it means it's back as an option. It still doesn't prohibit any female from taking further action outside of their company.

gawd


let's try this once more, trump rescinded a federal order that forbade federal contractors from forcing workers to resolve complaints through legally binding internal arbitration.

so now, yes it is "back as an option" for federal contractors to FORCE workers to resolve matters via internal arbitration which is legally binding...which is increasingly common method for businesses to settle disputes out of the public eye...and which is BAD news for workers who get harassed.

And what part of that order states they are forbidden to seek outside intervention? Laws are laws and nobody is exempt from them. And as your highlighted areas state, this is a very common practice in the business world. If something happened that was not illegal but perhaps inappropriate, then authorities have no business in the matter anyway. It is settled within the company itself. However if a male worker assaulted a female worker or did something illegal, authorities can still be contacted no matter what the company does or says.

The White House has been trying to shut women up this whole time.

To the droves of women speaking up about sexual harassment and discrimination, the Trump administration’s message is clear: Shut-up.

Behind-the-scenes, and mostly through executive orders, the White House is making it harder for women to report sexual harassment and fight sex discrimination.

The clearest example came in March. It received little coverage at the time. President Donald Trump reversed an Obama-era order that forbid federal contractors from keeping secret sexual harassment and discrimination cases. The 2014 rule prohibited these companies, which employ about 26 million people, from forcing workers to resolve complaints through arbitration, an increasingly common method businesses use to settle disputes out of the public eye.

“This was a clear sign of the administration silencing women,” said Jessica Stender, senior staff attorney for Equal Rights Advocates, a women’s rights nonprofit.

And it’s only a small piece of the picture. “The Trump administration has a clear anti-women agenda,” Stender said. “I say that with complete certainty. This is an all-out, full frontal attack on women.”

The attack so far has seen the most success via executive order, but a vast swath of the public policies proposed or endorsed by administration officials attempt to scale back women’s rights. From Trump’s repeal of executive orders meant to reduce pay discrimination to the budget floated in May, the failed repeal of Obamacare, and now the Republican tax bills, actions taken or backed by this administration harm women.

This war on women comes at a time when feminist ideals have never seemed more powerful. Finally, sexual assault victims are being heard and believed. Sexual predators like Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein are facing real consequences, losing their jobs, their movie deals, their companies. And, though it’s hard to believe now, the U.S. just last year came extremely close to electing its first female president.

In this atmosphere, the Trump administration’s actions look remarkably like a real-time backlash to the growing assertion of female power. The assault on women began almost instantly after the primal female scream that was the women’s march in January.
