When a corporation holds their board meeting can they stop employees from attending?
I work for a company that is a corporation, once a month they hold their board meeting with the officers, can employees attend this meeting and put their 2 cents in or can the officers stop the employees from attending? If employees can attend where can I find info in writing that says the board can't stop employees from attending?

Board meetings in general are not public meetings, so yes - they can stop employees from attending. Once per year the corporation has an annual meeting which all stock holders have the right to attend. If you're a stock holder that's a where you can publicly "put your 2 cents in."

Hello bad:
An employee can't stop owners from self destructing. You have no rights in the matter at all. I'd be looking for a new job.

We have 1 of the partners who is great and actually does the right things it's the other partners who don't, so where can I find in writing the "laws" for a meeting or where it states the public may not show up? Also where can I get the stock info I need to buy a share?

Hello again, bad:
You don't understand. Your company is PRIVATELY owned. You have NO rights to attend meetings - NONE. If they don't want to sell you stock, they don't have to. Now, if you want to read the many volumes of corporate law, go to your public library... But, I ain't lying to you.

Perhaps I misunderstood - is this company publicly traded, or is it privately owned? The fact that you used the word "partner" makes me think this company is not public, and consequently you can not buy stock (unless you become a partner yourself).
If you have an issue with one of the partners my advice would be to meet with the one that you say is "great" and discuss your issues directly with him/her. If you ever do have the chance to pubically air your grievances against the other partner, the likely consequence would be your dismissal.

And no one can "give thier two cents worth" unless they are already on the agenda. And have to be reconised by the chair to speak.

You are an employee, you are not a stockholder, partner or anything but an employee. An employee can speak to their supervisor or manager or even an owner if they are willing to listen. But as an employee you have no right to do anything but what your bosses tell you to. And you definitely have no right to barge into a private board meeting.
