They'll be bowling alone at Guardsmark tonight. The National Labor 
Relations Board (NLRB) doesn't want the employees chatting it up off the 
job.

On June 7 the three Republican appointees on the five-member board that 
regulates employer-employee relations in the United States handed down a 
remarkable ruling that expands the rights of employers to muck around in 
their workers' lives when they're off the job. They upheld the legality 
of a regulation for uniformed employees at Guardsmark, a security guard 
company, that reads, "[Y]ou must NOT . . . fraternize on duty or off 
duty, date or become overly friendly with the client's employees or with 
co-employees."
