Listen To This: Labor Unions Cheer as Illinois Bans Captive Audience Meetings
NPR brings us this audio/print story about Labor Unions Cheer as Illinois Bans Captive Audience Meetings.…
Illinois has become the latest state to adopt legislation aimed at protecting workers from their employers’ anti-union messaging.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a Democrat, signed the bill into law on Wednesday, joining a wave of other states that have enacted similar laws over the past couple years as union organizing has surged.
The Illinois Worker Freedom of Speech Act, which takes effect January 1, prohibits employers from holding mandatory meetings to discuss company views on religion or politics, and specifically unions.
Such meetings, known as captive audience meetings, are widely used by companies to convince workers that they’d be better off without a union.
