NLRB: Social Media Can Be A Protected Activity

The National Labor Relations Board has determined that Social Media posts regarding the employer can be protected activity.  You can learn the details of Three D, LLC v. National Labor Relations Board in this video.

Many people scroll through social media often, maybe reflexively liking a friend’s post or casually adding a comment to an ongoing discussion. Surprisingly, the National Labor Relations Act may protect this activity, as in Three D versus National Labor Relations Board.

Ralph DelBuono and Thomas Daddona owned Three D, which operated a bar and restaurant called Triple Play. DelBuono handled the accounting. Triple Play had a written internet policy prohibiting, quote, “inappropriate discussions about the company, management, and or coworkers,” unquote, on social media.
