Mark Gruenberg at The People’s World reports in what could be a major ruling on Freedom of Speech inside the Nation’s workplaces, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) decided, 3-to-1 this week that Home Depot in New Brighton, Minnesota illegally fired Antonio Morales, Jr. for writing “BLM” - for Black Lives Matter, on his work apron.  Morales and several other Workers “engaged in protected concerted activity” under Labor Law and thus could not be fired for it, especially since they were not only expressing solidarity with the Black Lives Matter Movement, but also protesting discriminatory working conditions at Home Depot, NLRB Board Chair Lauren McFerran said.  Morales had started at the New Brighton store less than three months after the infamous murder by Minneapolis Police of Black Man George Floyd, which touched off the whole mass Black Lives Matter Movement nationally.  Floyd was killed less than seven miles away.
