The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) recently decided that rules set by employers to ban negative comments about coworkers and the workplace are unlawful. This is the latest in a series of recent decisions finding work rules and policies unlawful because they do not align with employees' rights as defined in the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).
Faegre Baker Daniels partner Brian Garrison, who practices in the firm's labor and employment group, wrote an article appearing in the Indiana Employment Law Letter explaining the case and its implications. He encouraged employers to be mindful of how their policies could be viewed by the NLRB. "Given this decision and the NLRB's recent history of finding common employee handbook policies unlawful, you should review your handbook policies and assess whether they could be read as restricting employee rights protected by the NLRA," Garrison said.
