CHARLESTON, S.C. — An administrative law judge says Chicago-based Boeing Co. broke national labor law when a human resources manager at its North Charleston plant told a mechanic not to talk about unionizing during working time.

The Post and Courier of Charleston reports Sunday that Judge William Nelson Cates says Boeing can’t prohibit employees from discussing the union while allowing discussion of non-work-related matters during working time.

7. a human resources manager should know better - actions like this reflect poorly on the company.

I am sure the manager was appropriately counseled.
