Politics in the Workplace
In this election season, it is especially important for employers to review their policies regarding political discussion, according to this article by Nathaniel J. Torres of Morrison & Foerster. “Employers should provide clear and consistent policies informing their employees of what constitutes acceptable political activity in the workplace,” he writes. Policies should:
- restrict the display and distribution of political information
- limit political discussion
- prohibit political banners, buttons, etc.
