Federal Article Feeds Workplace Blogging
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (which describes itself as “a donor-supported membership organization working to protect our fundamental rights regardless of technology") has added a Bloggers’ FAQ on Labor Law (located here). It’s written for employees and addresses legal issues arising from workplace blogging. I found the discussion on NLRA rights the most interesting. Of the few terminations that have occurred as a result of employee blogging, I don’t think anyone has challenged the dismissal based on Section 7 rights. That said, I would expect to see that lawsuit within the next year or so.
