Where: Online

Register for webcast | | In recent years, the National Labor Relations Board turned its wrath on company policies that try to limit what employees can say or do, whether on social media websites or in the physical workplace. The NLRB's scrutiny seems to have led to extremely harsh results for employers. While some remain hopeful that the tide will shift towards employers under the Trump Administration, for now, administrative law judges routinely are applying the NLRB's outwardly pro-employee stance to find standard workplace rules a violation of the NLRA.
As any employer, whether unionized or non-unionized, that has a policy to deter employees from speaking out about workplace conditions or other issues in the workplace may well find itself in the crosshairs of the NLRB, please join us as we discuss the major areas the NLRB focuses on in its enforcement strategy.
Our topics will include:
- The current state of the NLRB's social media rules
- Handbook policies that create exposure for employers
- How to respond when an employee makes a disparaging remark about the employer or a supervisor
As always, there is no charge for our webinar.
If you have any questions, please contact Nicole Bennett at [email protected]
