Bad mouthing your employer on the internet?

Above the Law had asked a hypothetical about a lawyer who posted complaints about working conditions on an internet message boatrd and got fired as a result. Can he sue? A labor lawyer gave him an answer.

It seems that it would hinge primarily on whether he could claim that the complaints where made on behalf of other employees. Even if you're not in a union you'll be protetected by union laws if you're acting "in concert" with other employees.

So, the lesson is that if you complain on the behalf of all your brethern and get fired you should hire a lawyer.
