Facebook Case Settlement Reached
One of the first of many Facebook related cases sure to mark history was settled yesterday. Dawnmarie Souza appears to be the victor. She is the woman who made negative comments about her supervisor and employer on Facebook and was promptly fired thereafter. The Connecticut company that she fervently wrote about fired her based on its’ employee policies, found to be in violation of labor laws. Like many other companies, this ambulance company sought to make bashing them on social networking sites justifiable grounds for termination. Since settling, the company has loosened its’ grip, allowing employees to communicate more freely about their jobs on the internet.
