Labor Board majority shrinks size of union buttons on the job

[Sherman A1]

Washington (PAI) — By a partisan 3-1 vote just before the holidays, the National Labor Relations Board’s GOP majority shrank the size of union buttons and other insignia workers can wear on the job.

The Dec. 16 ruling represented a win for Walmart in its long-running and vicious campaign to stop workers from standing up for themselves, whether by unionizing or, as in this case, by advocacy through a non-union worker group, OurWalmart.

Walmart’s employee handbook banned buttons – or anything else – larger than its own workers’ name tags. In one case, it said a 3” x 5” pin memorializing a worker killed in a car crash was too large, because it was a half-inch taller than the name tag.

The anti-worker retail monster also banned non-Walmart tags, notably the union buttons, even in “employees only” areas.

1. So unlimited political spending is free speech but workers not entitled to free speech n/t

Corporations have more rights than actual people.

Possibly robots will be granted more free speech rights than people if the current trend is allowed to continue.
