Facebook Firing upheld in Court

Original article here

This ties in with what I mentioned the other day about nothing online being private. 2 workers at a Mazda dealership lost their jobs - even though they had an exemplary work record -because of several comments posted on Facebook.

"Postings that employer staffed by "crooks” and “hosed customers” justified terminations   
In what some are calling a first in Canada, the British Columbia Labour Relations Board has upheld the dismissal of two employees for Facebook posts about their employer."
Be careful!
