In Texas you have no right to work even if unionized.

Compared to us Yankees where you have to do no work to have rights!

As a former business owner I was told that employee's had the right to

refuse signing disciplinary statements and that further discipline could not

be handed out because they refused. That all you did is document the refusal

with a witness present and place it in the file.

Has this recently changed? Or was my business attorney incorrect? Or was

he just using common sense and saving me and the employees a headache?
