WELCOME TO THE EDITORIAL BOARD DEBATE ON SOCIAL MEDIA POLICIES

Content: I completely disagree with you on this one. People are using social media at work and at home in ways that could impact that company (like bad mouthing customers or competitors, thinking that it’s personal and not imputed to the company). This should be addressed in policies rather than sticking our heads in the sand. Kevin: My policy does and solves the legal problem. In fact, recent Board law holds that portions of their own model policy (see above policy ¶ 5) are illegal. See Flex Frac Logistics, 360 NLRB No. 120 (May 30, 2014) (termination of employee for disclosing client charges is legal but rule forbidding disclosure of confidential information is illegal). Ben: Whatever!
