This is a summary of one of many aspects of employment regulation in the United States and its territories. Employers should consult an attorney who specializes in labor and employment law about questions applicable to your specific industry. WORKPLACE ACCESS, SOLICITATION American labor unions commonly use the tactic of soliciting membership by distributing "authorization cards" and union propaganda in the workplace. To maintain a union-free workplace, management must establish and diligently enforce rules to control solicitation of employees and distribution of materials on company property. Rules on access should prohibit all solicitation by political, religious, social or charitable groups, otherwise the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) will require that you permit unions to solicit employees and distribute materials in your workplace. Your ban on solicitation and distribution must stress the principle that "work time is for work". Consistent, non-discriminatory enforcement of this policy is essential. Recommended Notice
