WIN: Connecticut employees may soon have freedom from "captive audience" meetings

5/12/2011 


Employees in Connecticut could soon have the right to escape so-called “captive audience” meetings.

The legislation was born out of concerns that some employers’ abuse required meetings in order to intimidate workers during labor organizing drives or contract negotiations. The bill passed out of the Assembly on Thursday by a vote of 78-65. It now goes to the Senate.

Opponents of the legislation say it could be bad for business.

Rightard Whitey attended meetings like this in Florida.

The meeting would start out as a sales meeting and end with the reasons employees should vote Republican in the 2008 elections. We think employees should be able to walk out of "captive meetings" when the boss tries to steer an employee's vote.

Corporations would be smart to maintain a politics free zone in their offices.

Sounds like a pretty close tally with regard to the vote. Whatever happened with this bill? Might have to cover it in our next sales meetings!
