Prohibiting fraternizing among co-workers is legal!

By Gearhead, NetworkWorld.com, 08/03/05

"It is a regular pastime for co-workers to chat during a coffee break, at a union hall, or over a beer about workplace issues, good grilling recipes, and celebrity gossip. Yet a recent ruling by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) allows employers to ban off-duty fraternizing among co-workers, severely weakening the rights of free association and speech, and violating basic standards of privacy for America's workers." -- from Big Brother Nixes Happy Hour, from Americn Rights at Work.

Wow.
