Right to Complain About Your Boss on Facebook?

Teaser: 

Lafe Solomon, NLRB General Counsel, filed a complaint against an ambulance service because it fired an EMT for depicting the company "in any way" on Facebook.  NLRB and later the federal courts will rule on this important question.

 

American Medical Response employee Dawnmarie Souza was unhappy that her supervisor would not let a representative of her union help her prepare a required response to a customer's complaint about her work.  She then posted insults and complaints about her supervisor on her Facebook page.  She compared the supervisor to a psychiatric patient and made other insulting comments.  But those comments "drew supportive responses from her co-workers."
