Legal Question in Employment Law in Georgia

No, but it may be a violation of company policy/your employment agreement and will likely get you fired.

It is lawful for you to do what you propose. In fact, it is protected by federal law. if you try to inform your co-workers of the adverse impact of the new policy, you will be engaging in "protected concerted activity" which is protected under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act. If your employer takes adverse action against you as a consequence of your engaging in that activity he will be violating sections 8(a)(1)(and (3) of the National Labor Relations Act. You may file a charge with the NLRB, which will investigate the facts surrounding your protected activity and the adverse action against you (if any). If they find that the employer took the adverse action because of your protected activity they can win for you reinstatement (assuming the employer fired you) plus all your pay and benefits for the period you are out of work because the employer fired you. It doees not cost anything to file a charge with the NLRB. You don't need to have a union to engage in protected concerted activity.
