Walking off job for march not protected, Valley lawyer says - By John Yantis, East Valley Tribune, AZ
In a tight labor market, employers sometimes tend to be a little more generous than the law would require them to be in these situations because while they might have the legal right to let somebody go, as a practical matter they need help.
Other companies have sent employees blanket reminders concerning their attendance policies.
Some attorneys say employers should be mindful that participation in the marches may constitute protected concerted activity under the National Labor Relations Act.
Section 7 of the act grants employees the right to self organize; form, join or assist labor organizations; bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing; and engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection.------------------------------------------- posted 5:31 AM :: reference link ::
