Have you ever ranted about your boss or a fellow worker using Facebook, or social media? If yes, what happened?
In the USA an “emergency medical technician” (what’s that, a paramedic?) was fired for slagging off her boss on Facebook. Yesterday, the New York Times carried a report on the actions of the National Labor Relations Board (“NRLB”) (a US business-union forum for supervising industrial relations it would seem) which filed a complaint alleging that the employer had breached the National Labor Relations Act which, according to the report, protects workers from being disciplined for discussing working conditions or unionization.
