Today, National Labor Relations Board General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo issued a memorandum to all Field offices announcing that she will ask the Board to find mandatory meetings in which employees are forced to listen to employer speech concerning the exercise of their statutory labor rights, including captive audience meetings, a violation of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).
Today, General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo issued a memo announcing that she will ask the Board to rule that mandatory meetings, including captive audience meetings, are a violation of the National Labor Relations Act. https://t.co/zW0vYOEinQpic.twitter.com/Mb3MIeQ9we
General Counsel Abruzzo explains that the Board has long-recognized that the Act protects employees’ right to listen to—or refrain from listening to—employer speech concerning their rights to act collectively to improve their workplace. Forcing employees to attend captive audience meetings under threat of discipline discourages employees from exercising their right to refrain from listening to this speech and is therefore inconsistent with the NLRA.
The memo explains that years ago the Board incorrectly concluded that an employer does not violate the Act by compelling its employees to attend meetings in which it makes speeches urging them to reject union representation. As a result, employers commonly use explicit or implied threats to force employees into meetings about unionization or other statutorily protected activity.
“This license to coerce is an anomaly in labor law, inconsistent with the Act’s protection of employees’ free choice. It is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of employers’ speech rights,” said General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo. “I believe that the NLRB case precedent, which has tolerated such meetings, is at odds with fundamental labor-law principles, our statutory language, and our Congressional mandate. Because of this, I plan to urge the Board to reconsider such precedent and find mandatory meetings of this sort unlawful.”
The General Counsel states that she will urge the Board to correct that anomaly and propose they adopt sensible assurances that an employer must convey to employees in order to make clear that their attendance at these meetings is truly voluntary. Such an approach will appropriately protect employers’ free-speech rights to express views, arguments, or opinions concerning the employees’ exercise of their protected labor rights without unduly infringing on the rights of employees to refrain, or not, from listening to such expressions.
Established in 1935, the National Labor Relations Board is an independent federal agency that protects employees, employers, and unions from unfair labor practices and protects the right of private sector employees to join together, with or without a union, to improve wages, benefits and working conditions. The NLRB conducts hundreds of workplace elections and investigates thousands of unfair labor practice charges each year.

HILLSBORO, Oregon Feb 21 2022 A Washington County jury found a man guilty of first-degree rape and two counts of first-degree sodomy on Friday.
In October of 2018, the victim, who was living out of state at the time, was alerted to a video posted to a pornographic website. It depicted the victim engaged in sexual activity with an unidentified man. The victim had limited memory of the encounter and had no recollection that it was recorded.
The victim reported the video to police. Investigators found it and confirmed it depicted the victim. In November 2018, the victim received a friend request from a stranger on social media. She accepted Jorge Ulises Serrano’s request and he began messaging her. The victim realized that she met the defendant when he worked as a security guard at her apartment complex.
Serrano later admitted that he engaged in sexual activity with her despite knowing that she was highly intoxicated. He also admitted that he committed various acts after she fell unconscious.
Serrano worked as a security guard from July 2014 to June 2015. He was a corrections deputy with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office from July 2017 to November 2018. Investigators said he uploaded the video of the woman during his time in Jefferson County.
He was terminated from that job prior to the allegations against him, according to detectives. As the investigation continued, detectives said they identified six additional victims of Serrano.
Investigators said Serrano used social media to meet women and underage girls.
Serrano was also suspected to have uploaded intimate photos and videos of multiple women without their knowledge, according to deputies.
He was convicted of rape in Marion County where he was given 40 years in prison.

The Internal Revenue Service headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Protective Service Officers PSO’s Working at IRS HQ & New Carrollton for Hana Industries Inc, Will Soon Be Voting to Join Our Union United Federation LEOS-PBA-DC Washington DC. On February 8th our attorney Jon Axelrod of the law firm of Beins, Axelrod and Keating P.C. filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board NLRB Case Number: 05-RC-290241 to represent the Protective Service Officers working at the IRS HQ in Washington DC. The following day our attorney filed another NLRB petition with the National Labor Relations Board NLRB Case Number: 05-RC-290307 to represent the Protective Service Officers Working at New Carrollton, Maryland facility.
Both of these IRS facilities are now under contract with a rival union out of Roseville Michigan. These Hana Industry Protective Service Officers Working at IRS HQ & New Carrollton have chosen to switch unions after their present Union have failed to service the members properly.
One Protective Service Officer PSO’s who wishes to remain anonymous noted “that the time has come to switch Unions after receiving several hate text messages and other anti-union propaganda from their current union. Our present Union is more concerned with spreading hate messages then actually representing its own membership.”
Most recently in another embarrassing loss, 235 Akima Global Services Inc Case Number: 28-RC-285574full-time and regular part-time detention officers, armed detention officers, and armed transportation officers performing guard duties as defined in Section 9(b)(3) of the National Labor Relations Act, employed by the Employer at the ICE Detention Center in Florence Arizona, under contract to the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Contract # 70CDCR20D00000004 voted to leave this same Union by a score of 72 to 14.

PHILADELPHIA – A Philadelphia police SWAT officer was treated and released at a local hospital after police say he was shot in his bulletproof vest in North Philadelphia while serving a warrant. The incident occurred Friday afternoon on the 100 block of West Lehigh Avenue.
Police tell FOX 29 the officer was serving a drug warrant inside a three-story building. As the SWAT team was approaching the third floor unit they say a suspect fired at least two shots through the wall.
The lead SWAT officer was struck once in the chest, and the round struck his bulletproof vest.
