Week 7 Discussions
Topic
1: U-Tube Employee Comments
Your boss comes to your office. He has
just seen a YouTube video.
A single person appears in the
video. Although he appears in the shadows in an effort to hide his
identity, the boss clearly recognizes who it is.
The person names the company and makes
disparaging remarks about the boss and the company. He also complains of unsafe
conditions - some of which you know or strongly suspect are true.
The person recently received an unfavourable
performance evaluation. The boss wants to fire the employee immediately. You
attended an HR conference and learned that the NLRB has spoken on this
subject.
1. What has NLRB said on the
subject?
2. What does a specific state law say on
the issue?
3. Is the Dawnmarie Souza's case
relevant to this set of facts? If so in what way?
4. Based on the NLRB, specific state law
and Dawnmarie case, can your boss fire the employee and if so on what grounds
and why or why not?
You must substantively respond to two
colleagues.

references to support your conclusions.

2: Employee Comments on Public Blog
You have learned that an employee is
writing a publicly-accessible blog. He is using his own name, and the name of
the company.
In his blog he makes accurate and
humorous comments on fellow employees - who you easily recognize from his
descriptions. Some of these comments are unflattering.
1. What advice would you provide the CEO
of the company? Consider in your advice - Should the CEO respond or not to the
blog? Why or why not? And if so, what should blog say?
2. What actions, if any, should our CEO
take against the blogger?
3. What specific actions should the
company take to protect its brand?
4. Pick a specific state law and is it
applicable and if so why and if not why not?
You must substantively respond to two
colleagues.
Use a minimum of two HR/legal references
