Since 2022, GC Abruzzo’s position has been that employers who subject employees to mandatory captive audience meetings violate labor law. Recently the Board issued its groundbreaking decision in Amazon Logistics agreeing. This Know Your Rights Card breaks it down.
Know Your Workplace rights: Captive Audience Meetings. Under labor law, you have the right to freely decide whether to unionize, including the right to freely decide whether, when, and how to listen to your employer's views on your decision. So, if your employer requires you to attend meetings in which it expresses its views on a union (AKA "a captive audience meeting"), your employer is violating federal law. An employer can ONLY hold a meeting to express its views on a union if it does certain things to make sure you can freely exercise your right not to attend. It must give a reasonable prior notice of the meeting's topic, that it's voluntary with no adverse consequence if you don't attend, and it won't keep meeting attendance records. The National Labor Relations Board is an independent federal agency that protects the rights of private sector employees to join together, with or without a union, to improve their wages and working conditions.Conozca Sus Derechos Laborales: Reuniones de Audiencia Cautiva. Según la ley laboral, usted tiene el derecho a decidir libremente a sindicalizarse, incluyendo el derecho a decidir libremente si desea escuchar las opiniones del empleador acerca de su decisión, cuándo y cómo hacerlo. Por lo tanto, si el empleador le requiere asistir a reuniones en donde se expresen sus opiniones acerca de una unión (también conocida como una “reunión de audiencia cautiva”), el empleador está violando la ley federal. Un empleador puede llevar a cabo una reunión para expresar sus opiniones acerca de una unión SOLO si toma acciones determinadas que aseguren que usted puede ejercer libremente su derecho a no asistir a la reunión. Debe dar aviso previo del tema de la reunión, de que ésta es voluntaria sin consecuencias adversas si no asiste y que no mantendrá registro de asistencia a la reunión.
