I'd say it'sa new union topic. Employers need to start worrying about what political opinions they are lobbying for, and what their employees want them to be lobbying for.

Corporate lobbying is going to stop just being for the owners

I bet unions are a political topic, along with how much your co-workers are being paid.

I wonder if there have been court cases for this; is slack considered a non-work area for, say, the purposes of discussing unionization? Would a DM between two people mediated through the company slack be a non-work area?

Though generally, it seems this kind of ban (of union discussion or pay) would be unlawful in the US,
