Still, it was a protected right workers had. But in a blow to workers, employers can now legally ban company email use for organizing altogether. > On Tuesday, Trump’s National Labor Review Board (NLRB) voted in a 3-1 decision to overturn an Obama-era ruling known as Purple Communications that permitted workers to use company email to discuss union and other non-work related matters. The ruling, issued Tuesday, states employees “do not have a statutory right to use employers’ email and other information-technology resources to engage in non-work-related communications.”
