The workers who have signed the NDAs should be given copies of them. As they are agreements the workers have signed, it would then be up to them to decide whether they want to publish details of them. I would like to see it. There are reasons NDAs exist. They are often good reasons relating to protecting people's privacy and confidentiality. I have worked in jobs in the area of medicine where there were rules around these issues for good reasons. I would not like to think that NDAs are being used to impose a chilling effect on workers or for them to feel that they are silenced and cannot raise concerns about their rights, entitlements and health and safety. The short answer to the question is that I would like to see them but it would not be for them to be published publicly. When an agreement is signed between two parties, it is for them to decide whether to publish them. I would like to see the content.
