Freedom of Speech
Under the National Labor Relations Act most employers
cannot prohibit workers from discussing wages, benefits
and other work-related matters.
When this law is violated call the N.L.R.B. office (Iowa
& South Dakota call (612)348-1757
Workers in most businesses have the right to work
together in a group to make their jobs better. This can
be a group letter, wearing stickers (which we can provide),
demonstration during lunch time, newspaper ads, even
appearances on talk shows.
There are some exceptions, such as city, county and state
employees who are covered under another law.
True supervisors are not protected.
