Join the Economic Policy Institute https://www.epi.org/event/employer-suppression-of-free-speech-unequal-power-in-the-workplace-is-silencing-workers/?utm_source=Economic+Policy+Institute&utm_campaign=002b54cfb2-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_10_02_06_32_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_e7c5826c50-002b54cfb2-60724069&mc_cid=002b54cfb2&mc_eid=UNIQID and Seattle University School of Law Professor Charlotte Garden for a panel discussion delving into this issue. Garden will discuss hernew report https://www.epi.org/unequalpower/publications/free-speech-in-the-workplace/?utm_source=Economic+Policy+Institute&utm_campaign=002b54cfb2-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_10_02_06_32_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_e7c5826c50-002b54cfb2-60724069&mc_cid=002b54cfb2&mc_eid=UNIQID on how Americans essentially lose their right to free speech when they become employed. Her report is a part of EPI’s “Unequal Power” series of papers exploring how unequal bargaining power in the workplace undermines freedom, fairness, and democracy. The restrictions on free speech include constraints on the ability to communicate with co-workers that is so essential to union organizing drives. Employers can suppress free speech because of the “at-will” employment doctrine that allows employees to be fired for bad or arbitrary reasons or no reason at all. The legal protections from employer suppression of free speech are limited and patchy, making it impossible for workers to know when they will or will not be protected. Moreover, there are substantial difficulties to enforcing one’s rights in court after they have been disciplined or terminated. Employees are left to speak up at their own peril, undoubtedly making silence seem the safer choice. This webinar is part of our Unequal Power https://www.epi.org/unequalpower/home/?utm_source=Economic+Policy+Institute&utm_campaign=002b54cfb2-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_10_02_06_32_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_e7c5826c50-002b54cfb2-60724069&mc_cid=002b54cfb2&mc_eid=UNIQID initiative, bringing together research arguing economic policy, employment law, philosophy, and political science need to return to the fundamental understanding of today's workplace reality of unequal bargaining power.
