This comes from Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act: "Employees shall have the right to...engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection."
In this specific case, the Advice Memo refers to protection for "expressing a dissenting view on matters affecting working conditions or offering critical feedback of its policies and programs".
Have you considered the reason you keep getting the same response to all of your posts in this thread is perhaps because you keep making the same assertions in slightly different ways?
Calm down dude; we get it. You don't have to post the same comment over and over again to make your point.
You'll have a make more meaningful conversation if you stick to one thread and actually engage rather than just copy/paste your reply.
When more than one person makes the same provably false claim, such as "There is no such “legal right” to discuss things in the workplace", isn't it worth correcting more than once?
Unfortunately posting more or less the same comment in many threads just makes other people do exactly the same thing in frustration and destroys the entire comment thread with copy-paste wars.
It's bad forum etiquette everywhere, not just on HN, and it ruins the conversation for everyone.

Right or wrong regarding the content, you're not a one-person-army out there to single handedly defeat all the wrong-doers on HN.
If you're just here to tell people they're flat out wrong, rather than actually have a conversation, you're just spamming the thread.
I'm not telling you what to do or that what you're saying is wrong; I'm just telling you you're being rude by doing what you're doing in the way you're doing it.
