Labor Board: Fired-For-Facebooking Employees Must Be Rehired
It's no secret that an employer can, and probably should, do a little check-up on your internet presence before hiring you, and possibly afterwards. But as several unhappy people have found out, sometimes they look pretty hard, and have access to information you thought private. It can result in foot-in-mouth moments and occasionally punitive action. That was certainly the case when five workers were fired for their conduct on Facebook.The workers felt their rights had been violated, and took it to the National Labor Relations Board. And incredibly, the NLBR ruled that they must all five be hired back.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/T4VlhH2Hwo0/
