In this episode of the Employee Survival Guide, Mark discussses the recent federal government action to provide millions of working Americans new Freedom of Speech rights at work by banning pre and post dispute confidentiality agreements and nondisparagement agreements in severance agreements employees receive when they are terminated. The new rules apply to both private sector employees and unionized employees. This is a huge development favoring employees.
