Congress forbids staffers from pursuing lawsuits about office harassment without committing to months of "counseling" first. They're also required to subject themselves to a mediation process to try to settle the business out of court.
No doubt that process produces far better results than the transparency and accountability of an open court would. I mean, that's what I would expect, wouldn't you?
You can't have Congressmen trying to do the important business of the country while exposing themselves to the crazy legislation that controls the workplaces of the subjects.

ReplyDeleteInterns are also unpaid, even as Congress talked about raising minimum wage, heh. Americans somehow can't do much about it. People just vote their Congress critters back in... like McCain.
