It seems like Social Media is a hot topic everywhere these days. The realm of employment law is no exception. It is constantly changing and evolving, just like social media itself. This session will discuss some of the laws employers need to be cautious of, and the latest laws and regulations on this topic. The National Labor Relations Board has taken a strong stance on many issues affecting social media, even for non-unionized employers, and it is important employers be aware of this. Come and learn the latest information about social media and its effects and implications in the workplace.
