Anon 14:24 NDAs should be outlawed in all public/state institutions, employments etc. The only people that need to go to an ET are the weaker side, the employee not the employer/business. For an individual the only use of being in a Union is that they will give you free legal advice and representation (including to back down, take what they can negotiate for you, and shut up, even though they agree the employer's behaviour is outrageous and should be made public). If a public employer does not want its reasons known, that is, of itself, of publice interest. Why would a head-teacher (to take an example which has long been common) not want his/her reasons for sacking a teacher not to be known? Why also the LEA, which until not so long ago was the employer of both? In cases I am aware of, the Head didn't like their authority challenged and the LEA didn't want reveal a situation which, rather than any alleged failing of the teacher, would annoy parents more and, perhaps, make them take it up with the (too often in recent decades, imperious) Head.
