A company that fired one of its employees for posting a negative comment about her supervisor on Facebook has settled with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The NLRB argued that the company’s social media policy was too broad and infringed upon employees’ protected right to discuss their employment. As part of the settlement, the company agreed to change its rules.
