Jake Fulcher, a partner with Kahn, Dees, Donovan & Kahn, LLP, will present a seminar for the members of the Evansville Area Human Resources Association regarding the recent NLRB complaints and opinions on employee discipline over social media content site postings.  Mr. Fulcher will advise the members on what constitutes protected concerted activity on Facebook, Twitter and other social media and what changes may be needed in a company’s social media policy to avoid NLRB scrutiny and to maintain compliance with various workplace privacy laws.  Should employers restrict access at work, benefits to the employer, HR and company? 

Other recent legal cases will be reviewed that could impact HR professionals.
