Workplace social policy gets overhaul

摘要

Think your company has an adequate understanding of how employees may or may not use social media? Think again. Last September, the National Labor Relations Board issued a decision that roiled the common thinking about how companies can govern the social media activities of their employees. The NLRB ruled Sept. 2 that Hispanics United of Buffalo, a New York social services nonprofit organization, must reinstate five employees with back pay after they were fired for griping among each other on Facebook about a co-worker's job performance.
