A new CareerBuilder survey finds that 64 percent of employers say they’d think less of an employee who repeatedly uses curse words, and 57 percent of employers say they’d be less likely to promote someone who swears in the office. More than 2,000 hiring managers and 3,800 workers across industries and company sizes nationwide were surveyed, and their response was loud and clear: Swearing at work is unprofessional and creates a negative impression of the offender.

The NLRB-Boeing controversy came to a very quiet end this week, when the NLRB’s Division of Advice recommended dismissing unfair labor practice (ULP) charges brought against District Lodge 751 of the International Association of Machinists (IAM), the union local involved in 2011’s highly controversial NLRB complaint against The Boeing Company. The memo (Case Nos. 11-CB-4313, 11-CB-071705, and 11-CB-071710) may give more ammunition to the critics who believed that the Board only took the case in order to punish Boeing for anti-union complaints. Hopefully, it will also put an end to one of the most controversial events in recent Board history. [Employment Law Daily]
