Isn’t disabling employee comments about working conditions (including at least one mention of a union) in violation of labor laws? I wonder if JPMC thinks they can get away with it because the new administration will not pursue a labor complaint against them.

Genuine question: is it? (“Shut[ting] down comments on an internal webpage” versus deleting specific comments.)


Seems like it to me.

It's akin to having a no t-shirt policy and not enforcing it until somebody wears a union shirt.



I think the practical answer is the interpretation of the law is up to each admin’s NLRB. I do recall cases under the Biden administration where similar employee communications were protected.


Even under the old admin, this is not the kind of thing that's easy to punish a company for without an aggrieved union to press the case.
