They Took All The Rights, Put 'Em In A Rights Museum

[Locutus]

from sda:

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights...

... has placed a gag order on employees that asks them "not to disparage or make negative comments, publicly or privately, oral or written about the [museum], including employees of the [museum]. Any breach of this provision will result in forfeiture of some or all of the settlement proceeds.

The joint even looks like it was built by committee.

First of all gag orders or confidenciality agreements are often signed by those leaving Boards
of Directors, Advisory Boards and in some cases employees nothing new there at all.
I was on the PICO Board of Directors that is the Okanaagan Plant Improvement Corporation.
This entity is rich with intellectual property rights and contracts world wide of course they wanted
a non disclosure and I respect that. I served five years on that board and signed a two year non
disclosure upon leaving. That is not muzzling human rights at all.

Secondly the problem is not with employees its with the structure itself it appears. The private sector,
the Federal Government, and the Provincial Government. Are they not the people we write to in order
to find classified information. We get a letter with 3 ands, 2 buts, 6 maybes, and 50 I don't knows.
We are asking them to allow human rights information and the outcomes of struggles that were in
many cases at their expense, as they were the parties that infringed on those rights.
This is a red flag situation of course they are going to control the content.
Remember these people always want control. It appears to be a white elephant all right and a huge
waste of money. Maybe they should turn it into a large Bar and make some money selling brew from
local brewers and distillers.

So is it a Canadian museum or a human museum? It should be dozed.

There is an easy defense to breaching this type of gag order, it is called the truth. Same as defending libel or slander allegation. This is not an confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement about client lists or sales agreements or vendor information.

Not it isn't.

No it's not.

Geezus!!

Not that it matters anyways...

However, museum CEO Stuart Murray said the gag order is a standard provision, and the museum wouldn't sue anyone who breaches their contract.

You sure like to make out like you're some kind of legal expert. Where is your degree from? Not that I think you have one but I thought I would ask. It is funny to watch you act like you are the supreme authority on the law when you probably have only spent time in court as the defendant.

Thanks for a good morning laugh, your skills as an internet lawyer are worth every penny we pay for them.

The federal gov fines employees who bitch about work on facebook. How's this any different?

I'm not, but it's obvious I sure know more than you, lol.

U of L.

Not that that is true, but even if it was, it's an excellent venue in which to learn how the law works.

Says the guy that has made more erroneous legal claims than correct ones, lol.

I would have that one in court too. My private life is no business of my employer. I would actually call that particular policy a violation of constitutional rights.

And every day thousands of people are forced to whiz in a cup becuase they might have smoked a doobie while on holidays.

That is an issue of workplace safety. I don't want no crack-heads on the lease while I'm working there just like I don't want anyone drunk or on percocet. I don't happen to think it is right to can someone over a joint while off duty but I would rather not have someone stoned around when the work is dangerous enough already.

I kinda hafta disagree wich ya there, brer bear. Facebook ain't private.

If you work for the guv'mint and maybe have taken a secrecy oath, putting the dirty sheets on FB might be a no no.

just sayin.

retired

don't care.

Heard shotgun shots just a while ago. Drove over to the closest water, and there were guys out duck huntin. Biting east wind, raw day, ducks coming in like gangbusters. Temp is -2, and they were out in a boat. Hope they got some ducks. They woulda earned them all.

Woops, ears were always bad. Sorry guys and gals.


Sure glad I didn't sing that in public. Hanging would be too good for me, eh;-)

Not the fact that the words were wrong, just my voice sucks............ukeright:
