On December 11, a sharply-divided NLRB reversed prior precedent and held that employees have a presumptive right to engage in organizing and other protected activity on company email systems. On December 12, a similarly divided NLRB issued new rules expediting union elections. These decisions will have dramatic effects on all employers - those with and without unions.

This flash webinar discussed:

  • An overview of the Purple Communications decision and the new election rules
  • How Purple Communications may impact email policies and their enforcement
  • How the new election rules differ from the current rules
  • What employers will want to be doing now to prepare for the impact of these decisions
