Quicken Loans, other Dan Gilbert companies violate labor relations act

A judge has decided Quicken Loans and other companies owned by Dan Gilbert are in violation of the National Labor Relations Act. The Administrative Law judge ordered the companies to cease and desist 24 guidelines for employees. Quicken said its employee "Big Book" was designed to protect the company's private information and reputation. However, labor watchdogs said the handbook's guidelines could be used to silence or punish employees looking to form a union. Marick Masters, director of Labor@Wayne and professor of business, commented about the effect of the ruling on employees. “Basically it enables them (employees) to have greater flexibility to say things about the company, to communicate among themselves about the company, and communicate about  the outside audience and to report things."
