Employers can't force you to keep quiet to get severance, labor board decides, reversing Trump-era rulings
Companies that make former workers promise not to disparage their former employers in exchange for a severance payment are breaking the law, the National Labor Relations Board ruled Tuesday, restoring what it said was an"important principle and longstanding precedent" that employees cannot be coerced into waiving their rights.
But those earlier rulings were flawed, the NLRB's new Democratic majority said Tuesday, asserting that employees cannot waive their rights under federal labor law — and that asking them to could affect the rights of those still on the job. Nondisparagement clauses, it reasoned, could prevent former workers from being able to assist investigations into ongoing labor law violations.
