Applying Boeing, Dress Code Policy Limiting Certain Union Insignia Lawful in Customer Areas, Unlawful Outside Selling Floor: NLRB | Practical Law
In Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) found that content-neutral dress code policies maintained by Wal-Mart limiting the wearing of union insignia of specified sizes or appearances, were lawful insofar as they apply to areas where employees encounter customers, but violate Section 8(a)(1) of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) insofar as they apply to areas other than the selling floor.
