NLRB Pans Tesla Media Contact Provision, Threatening CEO Tweet on Stock Options, Termination and Other Employment Actions | Practical Law
In Tesla, Inc., the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) held that a rule prohibiting employees from communicating with the media regardless of whether the communications concern confidential information or the employees purport to speak on the employer’s behalf, violated Section 8(a)(1) of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). The NLRB also ordered a remedy for an unlawful personal tweet and scrutinized a business-use restriction on HR software.
