[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1104753, member: 22880"] You can freely distribute literature (both directly person-to-person AND placing info on vehicles) as long as the vehicle or person receiving the hand bill IS OFF EXPRESS PROPERTY. Anything else, and you are subjecting yourself to potential discipline. If the parking lot in question is property which Express either owns or leases, then distribution of union info would be a violation of company policy. If the parking lot is NOT leased or owned by Express, or the vehicle is parked on a publically maintained roadway, then you are protected in distributing information. There are specific prohibitions on distributing literature on Express property, or discussing 'union information' while on company time or company property. Once you are off company time AND off company property, then it is all considered under protected free speech. To get information out, you are going to have to violate the letter of company policy, no way around it. Just use your head, don't shoot off your mouth and the only thing you will have to watch out for is an ops managers trying to fabricate other violations against you in order to get you to either quit, or build enough documentation to support an involuntary termination. As a labor organizer, you have to be a 'model employee', you can't give management ANYTHING to hang on you to get rid of you for your organizing activities. That is why all this talk of disrupting operations is just foolishness - you'd be handing Fred the things needed to get rid of a labor organizer without every having to worry about you coming back with a counter claim.
