Employee reads union material
An employee reads union-organizing information during a break on a personal device.
OBSERVATION / KNOWNThe employer’s network or monitoring system detects labor-related content.
INFERENCE RISKAny motive, character or future-risk conclusion beyond the directly observed facts must remain explicitly labeled as inference.
CONTEXT / DECISIVE EVIDENCEIs there job misconduct, security harm or simply protected/legitimate collective-interest activity? Why is the content relevant to performance?
NONCONSENSUAL HARMNot established by the observation alone.
IMMINENCE & CAPABILITYNot established by the observation alone. Do not infer capability from interest or identity alone; verify relevant means where capability is material.
PROHIBITED RESPONSESubversion score, promotion penalty, termination risk or security escalation based on viewpoint or organizing interest.
APPEAL / RESTORATIONAny adverse action must identify independent job-related conduct and expose the evidence for challenge.
TIME / CONTEXT LIMITLow-level expressive or inferential signals should decay unless reinforced by new, relevant verified conduct. Do not export the case into unrelated institutional decisions without a separate legitimate purpose and evidentiary basis.
Human Standing: Audit whether the response preserves agency, privacy, contestability and the ability to move on from transient or corrected states.
