Product Description:

On Dec. 16, 2007, the National Labor Relations Board determined that the Register-Guard did not violate Section 8 of the National Labor Relations Act by enforcing an e-mail policy prohibiting employees from using the newspaper’s e-mail system for “non-job-related solicitations.” The Register- Guard’s policy, implemented in October 1996, specifically banned the use of the newspaper’s communications systems and equipment for proselytizing commercial ventures, religious or political causes, outside organizations or any other non-job-related solicitations.
