COURSE DESCRIPTION: Here’s a surprise. Even if you’re a non-union organization, you might find yourself in court facing the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Why? Because your social media policy may be violating Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act which protects ALL employee rights to freely discuss aspects of their employment with others – and that protection extends to Facebook and other social media.

Bottom line: Union or no union, employees disciplined for violating your social media policy can turn to the NLRB and drag you into court if your policy isn’t written the right way.

Join us for this informative webinar with employment law expert Melissa Fleischer, Esq. on how to draft a social media policy that will help you avoid problems with the NLRB. You’ll learn:

• Whether the NLRB has jurisdiction over your organization
• What aspects of the National Labor Relations Act apply to you
• What statements to avoid in your social media policy so as to not violate the NLRA
• What constitutes “protected concerted activity”
• Best practices to avoid actions by the NLRB against your organization
• Tips on drafting your social media policy
• In-depth discussion of the General Counsel’s recent memo explaining many of the recent cases by the NLRB
