Training Course Syllabus:

The NLRB and the Social Media: What You Need to Know Webinar

Time: 08:00 AM PDT | 11:00 AM EDT

Duration: 60 Minutes

Instructor: Melissa Fleischer

Description:

This webinar will equip every organization to ensure compliance with social media policies and how to deal with employees who post on social media in violation of the company policy.

Recently the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) decided that disciplining employees for social media posts that constitute "concerted activity" violates the National Labor Relations Act. This is true even in non-unionized workplaces. The NLRB has also determined many clauses that in employer´s social media policies violate the National Labor Relations Act.

This webinar will also provide tips on best practices in drafting (or redrafting) your social media policy to avoid NLRB allegations that your policy violates the National Labor Relations Act.

Why Should you Attend:

Attend this webinar to gain an in-depth review of what exactly the NLRB considers protected "concerted activity" and provide a comprehensive review of the cases before the NLRB, including review of the NLRB´s General Counsel memo outlining the NLRB´s stand on social media policies.
