New York State Bar Association tackles social media and free speech in the workplace
The New York State Bar Association (NYSBA) is set to host a critical Continuing Legal Education Course titled “‘Free Speech’ in the Workplace: Social Media, Off-Duty Conduct, and Political Speech,” that aims to delve into the complex legal and practical issues surrounding employee speech on social media.
The NYSBA explained that it felt the CLE was necessary due to increasing tensions and disputes arising from political speech within the workplace, particularly fueled by recent conflicts in the Middle East.
Scheduled for March 25, from 11 a.m. to 12 noon, the program seeks to provide essential guidance for both employers and employees navigating the often murky waters of free speech rights in a professional setting.
