Illinois is now the 8th state to ban captive audience meetings — stripping bosses of one of their favorite union-busting tactics.

Alaska could be next if voters choose to pass the Better Jobs For Alaska ballot measure in November.

In case anyone such as myself also doesn't know what a Captive Audience Meeting is :

"The Illinois Worker Freedom of Speech Act, which takes effect January 1, prohibits employers from holding mandatory meetings to discuss company views on religion or politics, and specifically unions.

Such meetings, known as captive audience meetings, are widely used by companies to convince workers that they'd be better off without a union."

Crazy those were ever legal.

Are they only illegal now if they discuss religion, politics, or unions?

Because nearly every company I've ever worked for has had mandatory "all hands" meetings that DIDN'T discuss those things.
