Major unions have lost court cases and in one instance suffered severe financial damage in the process. Online posts, including anonymous posts and posts made here on APC, have been used in lawsuits against unions.
The rules on APC have not changed, but the enforcement will now result in a 30 day ban from APC for violations. Please don't sabotage your own union's efforts to secure industry leading
Because of the anonymous nature of this forum, I would fully expect a management member (or misguided sympathizer) to break this very rule and take a screenshot of their own post in order to get their dream TRO. If negotiations were further protracted and ugly, why wouldn’t they? How would APC possibly prevent this? It’s a slam dunk. What a liability. Such a messed-up system.
