NLRB Sends Message: Employers Must Provide Employees with Access to Company Email Systems to Grouse with Others After Hours

What’s This I Hear? A New Employee Right to Use the Company Email System For Non-Business Reasons After Hours!

This Breakfast Briefing will discuss the National Labor Relations Board’s recent ruling in the Purple Communications Inc. case, finding that workers have a right to use their employers' email systems after hours and for non-business purposes including communicating about union organizing.

We'll discuss:

• What is this new presumptive worker right to use company email systems?
• Is this a game changer?
• How is this related to the NLRB decisions limiting employee discipline for violating company social media policies?
• Does the NLRB’s new rules really say employers must provide company and employee’s private email addresses and telephone numbers?
• What action should employers consider taking now?

This complimentary event is a great opportunity to network and talk with other HR professionals and our lawyers in an informal and collaborative setting to get the information you need to stay in the know.
