Half a percent per quarter means you've given away a quarter of the company in 14 years. That's not something an accounting rule should allow you to just hand-wave away.

It's a bit weird to try and conceive of the corporation without thinking of its actual owners. They're the ones who the accounting is ultimately for. If Worthless Corp had 100 shares outstanding before this employee, the expense

Well, sort of. Explicit quotas used to be a thing in American universities until Bakke in 1978, and racial "points" systems were ended in 2003 with Grutter. Notably these Supreme Court decisions actively endorsed Affirmative act

Sure it's better than flipping a coin, but how does it compare with just making an educated guess? For some demographics you might get a 70% success rate with something as stupid as "Have you been trying to get pregnant for a few

The phrase "mutual aid" is right there. As is "organizing". These things imply an ability to cooperate with coworkers. These laws were made to explicitly protect collective bargaining , which absolutely implies othe

There are plenty questioning the legality. Workers do have rights in the United States. One of them is to engage in organizing activity for mutual protection, which includes discussing working conditions with the public. Despite the spok

The NLRA protects workers seeking "mutual aid and protection". This is very clearly covered. https://www.dol.gov/olms/regs/compliance/EO_Posters/Employee...

They were engaging in organizing activity with other workers at the same company, explicitly about those workers working conditions. That too is protected.

Yes, these policies are widespread. And often explicitly illegal under the NLRA. You have a legal right, for instance, to discuss your pay and working conditions with anyone you like. But no one changes the policies until the NLRB require

And depending on how you criticized them (such as by engaging in protected concerted activity like discussing your pay or working conditions), you may be having your legal rights violated and are entitled to remedy under the NLRA.

Such policies are facially illegal under the National Labor Relations Act, which guarantees workers the right to engaged in protected concerted activity, such as discussing their working conditions with eachother, the press, and the public.

Discussing your working conditions with other workers or with the press is legally protected concerted activity by the NLRB. Firing workers for that is explicitly illegal. You _cannot_ sign away these rights in an employee agreement or pol
