Labor board rules Amazon can't require employees to attend anti-union meetings

Nov. 14 (UPI) -- The National Labor Relations Board has ruled it is illegal to force union-backing employees to attend meetings held by their companies that are designed to undermine support and argue against the labor groups.

The NLRB called them mandatory "captive audience" meetings, and overturned the so-called Babcock rule, which the NLRB enacted in 1948 that allowed for companies to require employees to attend anti-organizing meetings.
