Bloomberg BNA Experts Discuss Employer and Employee Rights
ARLINGTON, Va., Jan. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National Labor Relations Board has been all over the news this year. Mass media headlines like "Court Backs NLRB," "NLRB Delays Effective Date," and "NLRB's Position May Be Shifting," may oversimplify events at the Board, but they accurately reflect that this small, but critically important, federal agency has a much higher profile than ever before.

Employees and labor unions have taken notice, and so should employers, whether they have union-represented workers or not. For example: even nonunion workers may have the right to use social media to comment on working conditions, according to the NLRB.
