Shoemaker Nike Inc. has settled a California activist’s lawsuit over its allegedly wrongful speech by agreeing to make a $1.5 million payment to a workplace monitoring organization (see Jul. 9 and links from there). (Bob Egelko, “Nike settles suit for $1.5 million”, San Francisco Chronicle, Sept. 13). “Any other company under attack from activists of any stripe — and there are so many of them — will have to think twice now about its efforts to tell its side of the story, at least in California.” (“Free speech loses a round” (editorial), The Oregonian, Sept. 13).
