Need some guidance in dealing with employees' use of social media in and about the workplace? In 2011 and 2012, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) got active in telling employers how to manage their employees' social media usage without violating employee rights, such as the right to discuss wages and working conditions with co-workers.
The NLRB is the federal agency charged with enforcing the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). Despite the "Labor" part of its name, as in organized labor, the agency's scope covers almost all private employers, whether or not unionized.
