Federal requirements to review

Protect concerted activity when writing workplace restrictions

Employees covered by the NLRA have rights to act together concerning wages and working conditions, with or without a union. Review confidentiality, non-disparagement, social-media, complaint, and disciplinary provisions against those rights and coverage exclusions.
