They'll be bowling alone at Guardsmark tonight. The National Labor
Relations Board (NLRB) doesn't want the employees chatting it up off the
job.
On June 7 the three Republican appointees on the five-member board that
regulates employer-employee relations in the United States handed down a
remarkable ruling that expands the rights of employers to muck around in
their workers' lives when they're off the job. They upheld the legality
of a regulation for uniformed employees at Guardsmark, a security guard
company, that reads, "[Y]ou must NOT . . . fraternize on duty or off
duty, date or become overly friendly with the client's employees or with
co-employees."
