I am an IC and not a government employee, so the decision does apply, as it would to many Citrix BU employees. I agree with the sentiment though: read carefully and weigh the potential costs against the potential benefits.
Maybe read a little closer:
"The Board’s ruling in McLaren Macomb applies only to employees covered by Section 2(3) of the NLRA, whether members of a labor organization or not, but does not apply to executives, managers, supervisors as defined in Section 2(11) of the NLRA, agricultural laborers, guards and or employees of other employers specifically exempted by Section 2(2), including, among others, federal and state government employees."
And it doesn't mean that all existing agreements are null and void.
In other words, you are out of luck.
I posted this the day after the decision was announced. It’s important to note that the decision may be appealed. I would certainly consult a lawyer if I were planning on disregarding the terms of any legal agreement I had signed, like the immature mo--n who posted below.
Even before this decision, I didn’t pay any mind to the severance agreement I signed. I do whatever the F##K I want to do. Thanks for the generous severance package, though!
