Captive Audience Meeting
A captive audience meeting is a mandatory meeting during working hours, organized by an employer with the purpose of discouraging employees from organizing or joining a labor union. It is considered a union busting tactic. Critics allege that captive audience meetings are used to intimidate workers and spread misinformation; employees can be fired for failing to participate in the meeting or for asking questions. In the United States, the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 (NLRA) broadly permits captive audience meetings but does not allow them to be held in the final 24 hours prior to a union election.

Captive audience meetings are held in about 90% of labor elections; union win rates are inversely correlated with the number of captive audience meetings held. In February 2021, the Protecting the Right to Organize Act ("PRO Act") was proposed i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
