...Wk 2 Study: Social Media Policies, Concerted Activity and HR Management MGMT410 Human Resource Management 1.) Ethically, and in the spirit capitalism, few should question the right of an employer to discipline an employee who used Facebook, Twitter or other social media to complain about his employer, employer's business practices or to make disparaging comments about his supervisor or co-workers. As an employee, you represent your place of employment. Typically, there are routes to pursue complaints. If not, then it is just a matter of being an adult and discussing the issue to come to a reasonable conclusion. In this case, we will look at an unfair labor practice (ULP) charge filed by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in October of 2010. American Medical Response (AMR), an ambulance service in Connecticut, fired an employee for posting deprecating comments about her supervisor on Facebook. Other employees joined in the conversation and added comments of their own. The NLRB alleged that the employee's comments were protected "concerted activity" under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) Section 7 of the NLRA states: "Employees shall have the right to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organizations, to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection, and shall also have the right to refrain...

...termination,” or “unjust dismissal.” Therefore, to ensure that workplace policies do not wrongfully discriminate against any employees, and do not fall under other exceptions, Cost Club Stores must also beware of situations in which our policies or actions in a particular termination can form the basis for unjust dismissal (Bennett-Alexander, Hartman, 2007). The GM for the Anderson Cost Club store made a cost cutting decision on terminating employees. However, he was incorrect about there being no restrictions to the right to fire people. There are state and federal laws which prohibit employers from firing people due to race, religion, disability, and age. The GM did not fire employees based on any of these restrictions.
