Comments on social media as protected concerted activity
You see occasional news references for applicants and employees getting in trouble with employers for things posted on social media. The NLRB recently issued a complaint against an employer who disciplined an employee for for posting negative comments about a supervisor on her Facebook page. The NLRA protects employees who discuss the terms and conditions of their employment with co-workers and others. The NLRB just announced the case has settled and the employer has agreed to revise their social media and internet policies revise its overly-broad rules to ensure that they do not improperly restrict employees from discussing their wages, hours and working conditions with co-workers. Employers should review these policies to ensure there is not a problem like this which could result in a legal challenge.
