NLRB ‘Bans’ Anti-Union 'Captive Audience' Meetings
Dave Jamieson at The Huffington Post reports the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has issued a ruling prohibiting employers from holding mandatory Anti-Union meetings at work, a long-sought policy objective of Unions that want to level the playing field with corporations in Organizing Campaigns. In its 3-to-1 decision, the Democratic Majority of the NLRB said such workplace gatherings - often called “Captive Audience” meetings due to their obligatory nature - tend to “coerce” Employees and therefore violate the law. The NLRB’s lone Republican dissented. The case revolved around the Amazon Warehouse in New York City that became the Retail Giant’s first to Unionize 2.5 years ago. Amazon enlisted managers and outside consultants to hold meetings where they fed Employees Anti-Union talking points in the run-up to the vote. The company spent millions on its campaign against the Union.
