Warren called for women to be released from nondisclosure agreements that prevent them from speaking about Bloomberg and the allegedly toxic work environment he fostered
on Bloomberg's alleged history of making “crude and sexist comments” toward women as the head of Bloomberg LP and fostering a toxic work environment, Warren told reporters in Iowa that the businessman-turned-candidate should have to “answer for” his alleged sexism. “When women raise concerns like this, we have to pay attention,” Warren. “We have to listen to them, and if Michael Bloomberg has made comments like this, then he has to answer for them.
Warren took particular issue with women who are currently being prevented by nondisclosure agreements from speaking out about their experiences with Bloomberg. “I think [nondisclosure agreements] are a way for people to hide bad things they've done. And I think that women should be able to speak,” Warren said Monday. “They need to be released from [nondisclosure agreements].
According to ABC News's reporting, at least 17 women have taken legal action against Bloomberg LP over the past three decades, including three cases that specifically call out Bloomberg directly for his role in the company's toxic culture. “Mr. Bloomberg, Bloomberg’s founder, CEO, and President, and the former three-term Mayor of New York, encouraged this type of sexist and sexually charged behavior,” a 2016 lawsuit filed by a female employee noted.
