If you’re a non-union employer, what you can or cannot do is murky now that a handbooks rules memorandum has been rescinded. Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act bars employers from interfering with employee rights to unionize. The rescinded handbook rules memo had listed actions that were lawful to maintain (e.g., requiring civility), rules warranting individual scrutiny (i.e., rules not obviously unlawful but need to be evaluated), and rules that are unlawful because they prohibit or limit NLRB-protected conduct. New guidance may be issued, so monitor NLRB pronouncements. #IdeaoftheDay
