Just Before Leaving for the Holidays, Senate Releases Incomplete Workplace Harassment Data

2017-12-23 4


Nearly $600,000 worth of taxpayer-funded settlements have been paid out for workplace misconduct in the Senate over the past 20 years, according to new data released by the Senate Rules Committee. But the release lists just one claim for $14,260 for "sex discrimination and reprisal" — failing to include a $220,000 settlement for sexual harassment in 2014 that was recently made public.
