	Reason magazine -- July 2001, Bleeping on the Job by Michael W. Lynch
		The story thus far: Adtranz, a refurbisher of cars for California's Bay Area Rapid Transit System, was arguing before the court that its prohibition against "using abusive or threatening language to anyone on the company premises" does not constitute an unfair labor practice under Section 8 (a)(1) of the National Labor Relations Act.
		Adtranz's policy is a standard-issue set of rules designed to protect companies from "hostile workplace" suits.
		Still, the NLRB ruled against Adtranz, overturned the election, and ordered a new one, since the company's prohibition of "abusive and threatening" behavior didn't explicitly exempt such activity during unionization drives.

	Customer Success
		The Centre of Competence Structural Mechanics, located in Kalmar, Sweden, is one of three Adtranz departments responsible for simulation of car bodies (body in white), from the conceptual through manufacturing phases, focusing on reducing design cycle time, improving design performance and reducing costs.
		The decision to standardize simulation analysis by utilizing one system company-wide was a result of Adtranz' need to reduce costs, support, installation and administration, but more importantly standardization enables knowledge to be spread between sites and staff and/or jobs can be distributed between sites, evening out workloads.
		By eliminating multiple vendors of simulation software and designating MSC.Software, with its low price and high performance, as Adtranz' single simulation vendor company-wide, the ROI is estimated to be under one year.

	"Pitfalls in Drafting Policies Aimed at Ensuring Workplace Civility," Employment, Labor and Benefits, September ...
		After losing the election, the union filed an unfair labor practice charge alleging that Adtranz interfered with employees’ opportunity to engage in union activities in violation of Section 8(a)(1) of the NLRA by maintaining an employee handbook that contained overly broad "Rules of Conduct" and "Solicitation and Distribution" policies.
		The implication of the Board’s ruling is that such heated exchanges and intemperate language during a union campaign are protected activity regardless of the magnitude of disruption caused by the exchanges or the content of the language.
		In reversing the Board, the D.C. Circuit ruled that the Board’s determination that Adtranz’s broad, prophylactic rules were illegal on their face was "simply preposterous." It found that Adtranz’s prohibition on the use of "abusive or threatening language to anyone on company premises" was a legitimate effort to preserve decorum and peace in the workplace.
