If you are monitoring your employees’ social media correspondence, you’ll want to know about a recent decision by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) that monitoring employees’ discussions within private social media groups violates applicable labor laws where the subject of those discussions concerns unionization. Even if you think your business is too small to be worried about unionization, this ruling still affects you.
