Avoid Defamatory Statements

Union-free strategies necessarily involve communications and, with that, rules that govern what employers may say to employees. Most often, the focus is on labor law restrictions regarding such efforts. For example, promises in return for a company win, or threats in the case of a union win, are unlawful. Interrogation into the issues driving union interest, or who is leading the charge, are equally prohibited. However, the federal labor law is not the only source of concern with respect to such matters.
