Whole Foods Market has a blanket policy that bars employees from making audio or video recordings at work. On Thursday, a federal appeals court ruled that this type of blanket rule violates federal labor law.
In a unanimous ruling, the panel of judges said the company’s rule was so broad that it would deter employees from documenting unlawful working conditions.
The ruling is significant because many employers have adopted these blanket bans. The court's ruling does not permit employees to make recordings as they please. It simply means that an absolute ban has no legitimate business justification.
