FF points....do YOU own them?!

Well, I am sure this has been discussed here at sometime but I haven't read it...so I will talk about it anyway:

Yesterday my boss and I were chatting and he told me that our company 'owns' our FF miles and can dictate use of them if they want.

The conversation came up due to a new policy of no Biz. class travel for anyway (even the Board) due to poor financials.

He went on to say that the new policy WILL allow us to use our points for upgrades or to take family along on biz. trips. (Worthles to me...all my points are with AC and they don't do point upgrades and I can't move points to LH or UA...my other carriers).

So....who else has these 'policies' where the company 'owns' your miles? I am quite sure this is illegal...
