Discussing working conditions is unrelated to criticizing the CEO.
> Going after the people who break the law is political now?
They didn't break the law. Wait and see.
- gambiting 3y agoCriticizing your boss is not related to talking about your working conditions? How can this possibly be true?
- throwaway09223 3y agoCirculating a letter that levels accusations against the CEO for racism or other political wrongthink is not protected conduct. Come on, don't be ridiculous. The NLRB is operating a farce with this suit. They're used to companies negotiating and not fighting. Their position here is untenable.
- gambiting 3y ago>>Circulating a letter that levels accusations against the CEO for racism or other political wrongthink is not protected conduct. Maybe - I guess the courts will have to decide. But courts also regularly rule that complaining about you boss isn't a valid reason for dismissal - the only difference here is whether doing it on such a wide scale and in this way is or isn't acceptable. I wouldn't call it a farce at all - I think neither one of us can predict what the court will rule here.
- throwaway09223 3y agoWell, there we differ. If employees can't be prevented from harassing other employees with open letters casting aspirations at each other then it would be impossible to operate a functioning company. It is undoubtedly a farce.
