In my experience, employers I have worked for (non-union) have not allowed really any postings from employees (selling cars, timeshares, etc). Our new VP has asked for some feedback on whether or not employers are allowing this - to provide a sense of community. Do you still follow the no postings rules? If not, how do you handle postings of this kind of information. |

We have a "no posting" rule except for something that has been cleared by mgmt/HR. But we also have a strick "no solicitation" policy. It it my understanding that by allowing some solicitation, you can't later block union solicitation. Haven't researched it much, but would rather not have awkward situations to begin with. For example, what happens when the timeshare turns out to be a dump? And the employee wants YOU to do something about it because it was advertised at work? What if the car is a lemon or just happens to breakdown soon after the purchase? These things WILL affect the work atmosphere negatively, the question is not if but when. We have found it best to just stay away from it altogether. |

The reality is that you are not going to truly block union solicitations anyway. Consequently using that as an excuse isn't the best. Establishing a culture where unions have no validity or opportunity to exploit workers is a more proactive and positive approach. With that said.... I have done exactly what the OP is considering and it worked fine. Solicitations were limited to employees and items only. We precluded things like Tupperware, Mary Kaye, pampered chef, etc. We had a bulletin board that was for this purpose only. Employees liked it, appreciated the opportunity to do this and it was never ever abused. We never had a union issue either. |

As HRPRos states, you're not going to 100% block union solicitations. But by not allowing employee soliciations you do take away an easy way for unions to solicit employees. Also true is that if you have a solid company culture, you won't have a problem with unions.

Just remember everyone that a non-solicitation policy is only effective during work time. When employees are on break they can solicit one another all they want. That would include seking signatures for labor organizing. |
