NLRB allows employers to prohibit workers from using work email for protected trade union activity

In Caesars Entertainment d/b/a/ Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino, the National Labor Relations Board overturned Board precedent to allow the employer to restrict employee use of its email system if it does so on a nondiscriminatory basis. Previously, under Purple Communications, Inc., the Board held that employees who have been given access to their employer’s email system have a right to use it for trade union activity on non-work time.
