    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the regulation imposed by the U.S. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) which restricts employers from creating their own social media rules for employees. It states that the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) Section 7 protects employee rights of freedom to join, assists, and form organizations. In addition, many employers have their own policies in terms of social media usage, such as Facebook and Twitter, which attempt to control employees testimony on social media.
