The Boeing Co. (2017) case could be read with the material in Chapter 3, Section 3 (page 170) “Legitimate Means for Concerted Activity” or with Chapter 5, Section 1.c (page 272) “Electronic Communications.”
The Boeing Co. represents the NLRB’s new approach to determining whether general workplace rules violate employees’ Section 7 rights (e.g., social media policies, no photography rules, computer use policies, etc.). This case is especially important for non-union employees, although it applies in the union and non-union context.
