American Medical Response of Connecticut agreed to settle a suit brought by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) after the company fired an employee for criticizing her boss and calling him derogatory names on Facebook.
The NLRB contended that the firing was illegal in that employees have the right to discuss workplace issues with fellow workers and others. The company agreed to revise their rules governing discourse on the Internet regarding work conditions. -db
