that would allow employers blacklist words like 'unionize' in chatsThe largest union federation in the United States on Friday blasted Facebook after it was revealed the company was offering to let employers limit unionization efforts on its platform.
Facebook's Workplace functions as an internal message board for corporate clients, an answer to Slack or Microsoft Teams. This week, The Intercept reported that Facebook was promising those clients the ability to exert "content control" over their respective news feeds. Specifically, it said companies could suppress the word "unionize."
That didn't sit well with the AFL-CIO, which represents more than 12.5 million union members.
"Employers censoring their employees' speech about unionizing is illegal," President Richard Trumka said in a June 12 statement. "The AFL-CIO demands that Mark Zuckerberg personally apologize to working people, pull this tool immediately, and conduct a board-level investigation into how this product came into existence in the first place."
