I'm certainly not a lawyer, just a software engineer trying to understand the world a little better. That said, does the NLRA actually protect against this? Reading about it talks a lot about collective action and forming unions, but what if it's a single individual complaining? Is that protected?
- elicash 6y agoI'm also not a lawyer, but as somebody who works in labor -- no, it doesn't have to be about "unions." It can absolutely be about working conditions, if they're in discussions with their coworkers. You're going to be on safer ground when there's a call for concerted action of some kind. You asked about "this" situation specifically, and I don't know enough about what happened to offer an opinion here. A bit unrelated, but one of my favorite cases on the concept involved Triple Play Sports Bar & Grille, where somebody was fired for a Facebook "like." https://lizerbramlaw.com/2014/09/09/can-employee-fired-facebook-like/ https://lizerbramlaw.com/2014/09/09/can-employee-fired-faceb...
- jdxcode 6y agoI think that's totally related for what I was getting at—great example. Of course you're right that there is almost certainly some level of collaboration here too.
- phkahler 6y ago>> where somebody was fired for a Facebook "like." At what point does a person at a company digging through someones social media posts constitute stalking?
- elicash 6y agoI think this would be your best bet to make an argument against this type of behavior: https://www.natlawreview.com/article/does-creating-impression-surveillance-violate-labor-law https://www.natlawreview.com/article/does-creating-impressio...
