A National Labor Relations Board Judge OKs an Employer's Social-Media Policy

July 28, 2014 — Determining what your co-op or condo's staff can and can't say on Facebook, Twitter and other social media can be a minefield, with workers fired or disciplined for presumably caustic comments turning to the National Labor Relations Board for help. Habitat has covered the thorny issue ("Can You Fire a Staff Member for Ragging You on Facebook? Yes. No. Maybe.") and now attorney Stephen W. Lyman, writing at Lexology.com, says an NLRB Administrative Law Judge has given approval to one employer's written policy, published there for your perusal. The full NLRB hasn't given formal approval yet, but this seems like a good model to start with in crafting your own.
