Presented by Stephanie Cerasano
August 2, 2007

Even though the live seminar on this topic has already taken place, you can still hear it! For your convenience, we've recorded it on CD and audio stream, so you can listen when you have time or share it with colleagues in your organization.
It's a scenario now faced by a growing number of in-house counsel and HR professionals...
A supervisor or manager at your organization discovers a blog by an employee. The blog entries paint a less than flattering portrait of your company. Now management wants to fire the employee.
- What are the specific legal consequences of terminating
the worker?
- Which privacy issues come into play if the blog entries were made while the employee was off-duty?
- If the employee is trying to rally forces regarding poor working conditions, can you get in trouble with labor union laws by squelching the blogs?
Learn your options and legal limitations for addressing employee blogs by participating in My Space and Your Space: Legal Options for Employee Blog Control.
In just 90 minutes, experienced labor and employment law attorney Stephanie Cerasano will walk you through the possible pitfalls and scenarios associated with employee blogging, including:
- Costly litigation that could result if your response to a blog fails to comply with the NLRA
- Practical steps for addressing a blog that complains about customers, management practices, or criticizes your product
- What are your options if an employee discloses alleged harassment or discrimination in the workplace and other employees read it? What if a manager reads it?
- An employee is blogging about the glass ceiling at your organization. Would telling her to take down the blog provide her with ammunition for a Title VII/sex discrimination lawsuit?
- What about consistent enforcement of a blog policy? Could you be risking a lawsuit if managers fire or discipline more minorities/women than other employees who are blogging?
- You discover through an employee's or an applicant's blog that he or she engages in illegal drug use. What action can you take, if any?
- Can you stop an employee from using your organization's logo on a website to discuss work issues?
- What action can you take if a worker creates a site for all employees to discuss work issues? Do union organizing laws limit your ability to control this off-duty conduct?
- Should your organization develop a policy governing employee blogs? What should be included in such a policy?
