NLRB Restricts Email Use

According to an article published in The New York Times, the National Labor Relations Board has ruled that employers have the right to keep workers from using company email to send out union-related messages.

The ruling has been called “a major setback to the nation’s labor unions.” Today, according to the articles in The Times unions represent just 12 percent of the nation’s workers. This is down from 35 percent in the 1950s.
