I would just like to give an example of why there is concern. A National Labor Relations Board administrative law judge has handed down a decision in the long-awaited Polaroid case. The Polaroid Co. has been heralded as one of America's most progressive companies, having championed workplace collaboration since the 1930's. Following the NLRB's decision in the 1992 Electromation case, which sparked this effort to try to clarify the National Labor Relations Act, Polaroid concluded that its 60-year-old teams violated the Board's rule. The company tried to restructure its committee organization to comply, but the NLRB's June 14 decision shows the futility of such efforts. Even though the new committee structure was much weaker than the old, the administrative law judge ordered it disbanded.
