Assignment:
The Sacred Heart Medical Center, an acute-care hospital, issued a memorandum prohibiting nurses' union members from wearing buttons which read "RNs Demand Safe Staffing" in any areas "on our campus where they may encounter patients or family members." Did the hospital's ban on these buttons constitute an unfair labor practice under the NLRA? Explain. See Washington State Nurses Ass'n v. NLRB , 526 F.3d 577 (9th Cir. 2008).
