Really?  This would be placed on private property, not a public location.

In recent years, the number of websites offering “cell jammers” or similar devices designed to block communications and create a “quiet zone” in vehicles, schools, theaters, restaurants, and other places has increased substantially. While these devices are marketed under different names, such as signal blockers, GPS jammers, or text stoppers, they have the same purpose. We remind and warn consumers that it is a violation of federal law to use a cell jammer or similar devices that intentionally block, jam, or interfere with authorized radio communications such as cell phones, police radar, GPS, and Wi-Fi. Despite some marketers’ claims, consumers cannot legally use jammers within the United States, nor can retailers lawfully sell them.

I think that is just a suggestion.

Could you put something like AT&T's M-cell in place and make them log in to use personal lines?  Kind of like a private VPN but for phones?

We routinely fire rule breakers.
My rule is, if it's not a company phone, I better not see it in the warehouse.

Give them all T-Mobile phones.

this will work well based on personal experience

Make them sign an agreement that using a personal cell phone during business hours is against company policy, if they are caught they will be fired for cause. Texas is a right to work state (a/k/a can be fired because you feel like it). If they refuse to sign, sayonara.

What you're referring to is that Texas is at will employment state, which means you can be fired for good cause, bad cause, or no cause, as long as it is not a discriminatory cause. "Right to work" refers to union membership. Just sayin'.

I've heard RTW spun both ways. The obvious is the definition you gave, but it's been doubletalked to mean right to fire also. Politicians, man.

RTW is not correct term.

From google: "Texas is an “employment-at-will” state. Generally, employees without a written employment contract can be fired for good cause, bad cause, or no cause at all."

Is illegal even in a private location.

Yes. FCC controls airwaves even on pp.

 

The main beef the popo will have is 911, but FCC rules make jamming illegal.
