Is the NLRB Turning up the “Social Media Heat” too High? No… Not Yet 2 comments »

Started by Courtney Hunt, PhD, Organizational Effectiveness Consultant and Social Media Strategist

Eric Meyer has brought another case to my attention. Basically, the NLRB is complaining that an employer illegally fired several employees for discussing working conditions on Facebook. The noteworthy factors in this case are:

1. The complaint is against an employer's actions rather than its policies.

2. The employees are not unionized, which further reinforces the need for non-union employers to pay attention to the requirements of the NLRA.

3. The employer apparently claims it fired the employees for harassing another employee, so if the case proceeds to adjudication, deciding whether the employees' comments crossed that line could be a key factor in the ultimate resolution.

Here are links to a summary from Labor Relations Today and the complaint itself:
