Program Highlights
Freedom of Speech in the Workplace
Presented by Rich Wooster (attorney for Pierce County Library System)
Mr. Wooster addresses the seldom clear and frequently confusing issue of First
Amendment rights in the workplace. As the American workplace becomes more diverse,
the question arises, where does freedom of expression begin and end on the job?
What are the implications for library workers, whose jobs exist to promote the
free flow of beliefs and thought?
Join us for some thought provoking discussion.
Thursday, April 17, 4:15-5:30pm
