Freedom of speech is one of our basic rights as United States citizens, but many Americans in the workforce are faced with the choice between exercising this right and keeping their jobs.  While the American people are protected from censorship by the government, there are no laws to protect free speech in the workplace. 

In Speechless: The Erosion of Free Expression in the American Workplace, Bruce Barry guides the readers through the crucial roles of law, convention, and culture in limiting free speech in the workplace. He examines the legal system that allows employers to suppress workers' free speech.  Barry argues that freedom of speech in the workplace is excessively and needlessly limited and advocates changes to law and management practices that would expand and protect employee rights without jeapardizing employer interests.
