Question: Pink Slip for Facebook Angst?

Where to draw the line with one's Facebook account has been a debated issue for just about as long as the social media site itself has existed.

Harrison in particular has had issues with Facebook in the not so distant past, including one instance where disciplinary measures were taken against town employees for comments allegedly made on the site.

But should employees be disciplined for their use of Facebook even after they clock-out for the day?

According to an article in the Huffington Post, "The federal agency tasked with enforcing labor law has been fielding complaints from workers across the country who have been fired or disciplined for their work-related indiscretions on Facebook."

In one case cited in the article, an employee at a Connecticut ambulance company was fired for criticizing her boss on Facebook.

"'Love how the company allows a 17 to become a supervisor,' Dawnmarie Souza wrote, '17' being an insider's term for a psychiatric patient. The company, American Medical Response, had a policy that forbid employees from criticizing the company online. The NLRB [National Labor Relations Board] took up Souza's complaint, arguing in part that such a policy was too broad.

In the end, the NLRB declined declined to issue complaints on Souza's behalf, saying her punishment was legitimate.
