Though a social committee’s activities may support an employer’s efficient operations (e.g., increasing morale, team building, and generating a productive workforce), the employer may not distinguish between such non-business activities and those of the exclusive bargaining representative when there is no significant difference in the nature or extent of the employer’s and union’s activities. Such distinction results in the overbroad, discriminatory application of an otherwise lawful regulation. (pp. 6-7.)
