[lbo-talk] Unions' Inflatable Rat an Endangered Species

[Steven L. Robinson]

The NLRB would have jurisdiction if the union is attempting to organize the
workplace - especially if there is a representation election pending.
Ironically, management often invokes the right of free speech when it forces
employees to sit through 'captive audience' meetings and listen to
anti-union propaganda. SR

Two words: Frivolous Lawsuit. Definitely first amendment.

NLRB has what legal standing with this issue?

It's not in the workplace, and it may not even be a company or union
employee that's flying the rat (I'll volunteer!). The phrase: "Chilling
effect on free speech" comes to mind.

It will eat up a lot of union war chest funds to keep the rat flying though,
which I'm sure is the reason *for* these BS lawsuits.
