The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has determined that it is legal for employers to ban the use of cellphones by employees if they do so for safety and security reasons.
Although the Obama-era board had encouraged the use of cellphones in the workplace, the current board earlier this year found that an employer’s policy prohibiting cellphone use by their truck drivers while driving was lawful due to the substantial safety concerns for commercial drivers supporting the policy. The new decision takes that a step further.
