- Judge Forces Employer To Rehire Workers Who Vented On Facebook (http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2011/09/07/judge-forces-employer-to-rehire-workers-who-vented-on-facebook/)
- This article is about an employer, the National Hispanics of Buffalo, who fired some of their employees after they complained about a co-worker online. The co-worker claimed that it was cyber harassment. The case was taken to the National Relations Board who decided that under the National Labor Relations Act, the workers had a right to complain about their working conditions. As a result, the non-profit was forced to rehire the employees.
- The stakeholders in this situation are the people who post about their jobs online.
- A social issue presented in this article is the privacy of the employees. Employees should know that their employers have access to what they post online. Another social issue is freedom of speech. The employees argued that they should be able to complain about their jobs without being fired.
- The area of impact is business and employment.
- I feel like while the employees should have the right to post about their working situation online, they should be aware of the consequences that may come out of it. A possible solution for them would be to put privacy settings on their facebook account so their employers would be able to view it.
