What standards did the Supreme Court set forth for evaluating employer statements to employees during an organizational campaign?


An employer is free to communicate to the employees any of the employer's general views about unionism or any specific views about a particular union so long as the communications do not contain a "threat of reprisal or force or promise of benefit" [Section 8(c)]. The employer may even make a prediction as to the precise effects the employer believes unionization will have on the company. However, the prediction must be carefully phrased on the basis of objective fact. If the employer gives the impression, even though sincere, that unionization will or may result in the closing of the plant, it is not a statement of fact unless the eventuality of the closing is capable of proof.
