Doc Ruby writes "The U.S. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has ruled to ban off-duty worker 'fraternization,' at the employer's discretion. So getting together for a beer after work can now be prohibited by the boss. With IT workers so commonly producing some of our best work 'after hours,' even at home or in restaurants/bars, will this ruling come back to bite employers in the IT industry? Can they really stop you from talking with your cubicle neighbor on the bus home, if they can't even stop you from reading Slashdot while on the clock?"

You read slashdot and are concerned about having sex with a co-worker? I'm confused on so many levels.

This falls under 'human rights'. Which you cannot sign away.
Sorry, someone's working on that too.

They are busy suing a 7 year old kid for saying, "One nation under God," when the kid next to him didn't want to hear it and having a 70 year old store owner in Alabama arrested for having a printoff of the 10 commandments hanging up behind the register. They need to take care of that important stuff first before looking at little things like this.

But A-B couldn't definitively prove that it was him making their beer taste like piss, so they had to fire him for drinking a competitor's product.
Rumor has it that someone is still pissin' around in the plant.....
