Prof. Charlotte Garden Quoted by New York Times and Vice on Labor Board Severance Ruling 

Professor Charlotte Garden was quoted by the New York Times and Vice News on a new ruling by the National Labor Relations Board on the legality of a company offering a severance agreement that prohibits workers from making potentially disparaging comments about their former employer. The new ruling overturns a ruling previously made in 2020, which had determined such actions were not illegal. Discussing the 2020 ruling, Professor Garden shared that the ruling had attempted to "narrow the rule to situations where an employer was trying to cover up their own previous unlawful activity and prohibit employees from talking about it."
