This document examines legal issues surrounding social media policies for employees. It provides a brief legal history on how more companies are implementing social media policies to protect themselves, but these can risk violating employees' first amendment rights. The document summarizes several recent court cases that dealt with balancing companies' interests with employees' free speech. It also reviews some law journal articles discussing lifestyle discrimination laws, additional protections given to employees' online speech, and the need for social media policies to address rulemaking. The conclusion notes that private employee social media policies are not government regulated unless for public employees, and that first amendment rights still apply to what employees say online as long as they follow any agreed upon social media policy and state laws.
Like it or not, social media has become the norm. Social Media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, as well as other informationsharing sites and blogs have forever changed the way people communicate. Employers need to recognize that their employee's personal use of these social networking websites - whether or not the employer permits personal use of these websites at work - is rife with these potential employment issues and other legal exposures, such as potential claims or employee harassment, unfair labor practices and unauthorized disclosure of statutorily-protected information about the company, its customers and employees. This session will address how employers can avoid exposure arising from such risks and how employers need to protect themselves.

Corporate Social Responsibility in the MENA Regions - Abdeslam BadreAbdeslam Badre, PhD
Relatively new in the Arab World, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is one among the ethical practices which has already become crucial in promoting a positive image about a few Arab Macro-economic projects throughout the Arab business community. Still, Arab companies make up just 1% of the 4,650 organizations which are registered and have filed reports on the Global Reporting Initiative’s Sustainability Disclosure Database (GRISDD. With the recent political uprisings in the Arab region, along with the international economic crisis, new challenges have came to the forth to shape new realities; yet, unfolding invaluable opportunities for modernizing the Business infrastructure in the region.
It is on this ground that civil society, being the backbone of the non-state power, especially in a region where most of the political institutions have been either inexistent or undemocratic, could play a leadership role in monitoring and enforcing social responsibilities‘ practices on both public and private sectors; with the intent 1) to modernize the Business Structure in the region, 2) to motivate and preserve collective investments, 3) and to optimize the number of companies registering in the Global Reporting Initiative’s Sustainability Disclosure Database (GRISDD).
This presentation talks about the unprecedented role Arab local and regional body of NGOs, which for decades have suffered from their regimes‘ oppressions, can and should play in monitoring and enforcing ethical practices and sustainable strategies of social responsibilities on the State as well as private-owned companies towards their communities, especially in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, and Morocco wherein most of the vital economic sectors have been monopolized by the regimes‘ entourage. The presentation will also showcase the UAE experience in establishing partnerships for a sustainable future along with the Lebanese experience in implementing CSR initiatives, and Qatar's ethical investments.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

1. Public Relations and Social Media:
An examination of social media protections
By Kim Cushing
2. Brief legal history
- More and more PR professionals are drafting social media policies to better
protect their companies.
- Employee restrictions can result in first amendment violations.
- Employee social media actions can cause harm to company and result in
defamation cases.
3. Recent Case Law
Kroger Co. of Mich. v. Granger (2014)
-Kroger’s loss. Overbroad.
Grutzmacher v. Howard Cnty. (2017)
- Grutzmacher’s loss. Company reputation at
stake.
NLRB v. Pier Sixty, LLC (2017)
- NLRB wins case.
4. Law Review
Elefant (2011)- Lifestyle discrimination laws offer some exceptions for employers to take action against.
But employees have some First Amendment protected speech
Shannon and O’Sullivan-Gavin (2016) -the Quon decision in 2010 has given employees additional
protection in regards to what they say online, but not full protection
Steven M. Johnson-social media policies lack addressing the appropriate use of social media in
rulemaking.
Molly Considine (2013)- NLRB made a copy of a lawful social media policy for employers. Some states
now also have off-duty statutes that protect employees in what they say on their free time while they are
not on the job.
5. Conclusion
-social media policies are not
government unless it is a public
employee.
-First amendment rights to hold firm=to
employees on what they say online so
long as they are adhering to whatever
social media policy they agree to and/or
their state social media laws.
