Social media is having a tremendous impact on our personal lives and the workplace. Choosing the most effective way to manage social media in the workplace can be complicated and confusing. Social media is breathing new life into phrase “concerted, protected activity,” and reminding us that the National Labor Relations Act protects employees at both unionized and nonunion workplaces. Social media may offer a new model for collective bargaining and labor relations.Social media also can raise numerous employment discrimination issues. For instance, an employer cannot be liable for religious, pregnancy or disability discrimination unless that employer knows that an employee is pregnant, has a disability, or has religious beliefs. But what did a supervisor learn when he or she visited an employee’s Facebook page? This program will address a variety of employment-related social media questions and also will explain how dispute resolution social media platforms such as Cybersettle.com, Smartsettle.com, and Modria.com can be used to resolve employment disputes.
