That might be the case, but perhaps not is all states, Al.
Not sure if you meant the "un-enforcability" comment or just whether what GC's demanding is legal in some or even all states.
I guess technically if there's no specific law
against it then it's legal until it gets contested at a higher level and I now see that could easily be the case.
I'm thinking that'd be a federal thing with labor law but exploring it here could wind up opening the old "political" can of worms so I didn't want to go there even if I
was better informed.
Unenforcability of an illegal contract (or a clause thereof) is universal, the rent thing was just an example of my personal experience with the principle in a specific context.
Reading stuff like this makes it hard to wish GC well..
Right, your original point, and we're definitely in agreement on that.
Edit:
I was also keeping in the back of my mind while reading that article, the source, the Huffington Post, has been know to capitalize on scandal or the hint of it, themselves, from time to time.
Journalism is after all a business, and scandal sells.
So I was taking the whole thing with a grain of salt until seeing it presented from other points of view, for balance.
