March 21 (UPI) -- Washington Gov. Jay Inslee on Wednesday signed four bills aimed at protecting women in the workplace that were proposed after the #MeToo movement gained momentum last year.
Starting on June 7, contracts limiting a person's ability to report sexual harassment will be voided; nondisclosure agreements will not be able to include prohibitions on speaking publicly about sexual harassment allegations; stronger provisions will be made for pay equality; and the Human Rights Commission will create a work group to develop policies aimed at rooting out sexual harassment.
