NLRB Ruling

Privileged and Confidential
This email contains legal advice and confidentiality should be maintained

The attached memo describes a recent decision from the National Labor
Relations Board regarding an employee's right to be "represented" by a
co-worker or other person during a disciplinary meeting. Employees in
unionized settings always have had this right, but it now has been extended
by the NLRB's ruling.

The ruling was contentious -- there were dissents -- and I expect it to be
appealed quickly. Nonetheless, if an Enron employee wants to have someone
sit in on a disciplinary meeting, please call me to discuss how to proceed
before responding to that request. We want to be careful to avoid a finding
of an unfair labor practice.

Thanks. Michelle
