			<font face="Arial" size="2">The National Labor Relations Act 

			protects both union and non-union employees, often in unexpected 

			ways. For example, confidentiality policies are common in many 

			workplaces, but can violate employees  rights under the NLRA if they 

			prohibit or suggest that employees cannot discuss wages and working 

			conditions with one another. Similarly, electronic use policies, 

			non-solicitation policies, and absenteeism policies can violate the 

			protections employees and unions have to communicate with one 

			another and to be free from discrimination and retaliation for 

			exercising rights under the Act. The Obama Labor Board is expected 

			to reverse several prior Board decisions by providing non-union 

			employees the right to representation during disciplinary 

			interviews, expanding the allowable use of company e-mail for 

			non-work purposes, and limiting workplace rules that regulate 

			abusive language.</font></p>
