Kronick Shareholder David Tyra is quoted in a Sacramento Bee article (April 13, 2018) about social media, the first amendment and the National Labor Relations Act, a federal labor law that protects workers’ rights to organize job actions and speak out about their wages, hours and other terms of employment. “This law created the five-person National Labor Relations Board that regularly makes decisions on what constitutes fair employment practices,” said David. “For decades, this body has upheld terminations when companies can prove that the discharge interferes with the company’s ability to comply with state and federal equal-employment laws, but it also has just as consistently struck down any social media policies that it views as having a chilling effect on a worker’s rights to organize or to discuss terms of employment.”
