Home Depot workers do not have the right to wear Black Lives
Matter merchandise or imagery while on the job, a federal judge
has ruled.
In his ruling Friday, administrative judge Paul Bogas rejected a
complaint from the US National Labor Relations Board that the
home improvement retailer violated employees’ rights by barring
them from displaying BLM gear, Bloomberg News said in a report.
Bogas wrote that the BLM moniker lacked “an objective and
sufficiently direct relationship to terms and conditions of
employment.”
BLM’s message “originated and is primarily used to address the
unjustified killings of black individuals by law enforcement,”
he wrote.
“To the extent the message is being used for reasons beyond
that, it operates as a political umbrella for societal concerns
and related to the workplace only in the sense that workplaces
are part of society,” the judge said.
The labor relations board is entitled to appeal the ruling,
Bloomberg said.
The Atlanta-based retailer isn’t the only one cited for BLM-
related speech.
The NLRB general counsel has also filed a complaint against
Whole Foods Market on similar grounds, claiming that the food
peddler’s ban on BLM signs or merchandise worn by employees
violates their rights.
That case is part of ongoing deliberations by a judge in San
Francisco.
A representative for Home Depot did not immediately respond to a
request for comment from The Post on Sunday.

You go to your place of employment to do a job NOT to express
your private or political beliefs. There should be a clear and
separate line drawn between work and outside of work. Good
decision by the judge. If allowed to stand, it opens the
employer to lawsuits by others who could claim they felt
uncomfortable in the workplace.

I totally agree with you, but the same employers who think the
workers should not be expressing their personal opinions think
there's some marketing advantage to wave the rainbow flag.
So Walgreens and others have turned their logo to the rainbow.
That's not right either!
Can you imagine how a conservative person must feel that's he's
there to sell a product at Walgreen or other business, and he's
now forced to endorse this bullying agenda?
