cold hard facts

The cold hard facts are that the National Restaurant Association settled two harassment claims against Cain in 1999. It was *not* normal for a CEO to have a harassment claim filed against them during that period, much less two.

The NRA settled both claims, although in 1998 even the EEOC only found cause to investigate harassment claims in 60% of claims. And that was just to investigate them.

The NRA settled them for $35K and $45K, which was *way* more than nuisance claims were settled for in 1999. A 1998 study showed that the average settlement of a harassment *lawsuit* (which settles for a much greater amount than a mere claim) was $38.5K, which includes those settlements in the hundreds of thousands of dollars for serial and institutional harassment, and the truly obscene harassment cases. Nuisance lawsuits (if you know your math) were therefore settled for much, much less than $38.5K. Nuisance claims that never went to suit would have settled for less than that. I've posted the link to the study several times and Cain supporters say, "well, I don't need a scientific study, my friend said those are nuisance amounts."

$35K and $45K say they were not nuisance claims. Two of them say the NRA had a problem with Cain in 1998-1999.

Those are cold, hard facts.

As for other women, I have no cold, hard facts - other than Ginger White and what Cain said today about giving her money and not telling his wife. But not everything about Cain is without cold, hard facts.

It IS common, and pathetic, in corporate America that frivolous claims are settled at nuisance cost. Yes, 35K and 45K is a lot of money, but it is below what is considered nuisance cost in these types of cases.

You have NO insight into the allegations, terms, conditions or anything related to those claims because they are sealed - only hearsay... so you have no hard facts at all.

As for other women, I have no cold, hard facts There you are admitting a cold hard fact.

You just don't realize you have no facts at all - yet you are eager to participate in the destruction of a man based on hearsay. I can't be party to that.
