citing decisions per year

Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

(a) Require, as a condition of employment, that an employee refrain from disclosing information about the employer’s working conditions.

(b) Require an employee to sign a waiver or other document that purports to deny the employee the right to disclose information about the employer’s working conditions.

(c) Discharge, formally discipline, or otherwise discriminate against an employee who discloses information about the employer’s working conditions.
