For example, suppose I work at a Ford dealership. The 1A won’t protect me if I tell a customer that Toyota makes better cars. If management finds that out...I’m gone.
Surprisingly, you’re wrong.
The Dept of Labor regulations provide that employees may discuss work matters on social media, including defamation of the employer, without consequence.
Comes under the heading of worker’s rights to organize and communicate.
Worked for a company 6 years ago that lost a wrongful termination suit due to this rule.
Right to work State or no?

Very interesting. Thanks for posting that.
Let me ask a follow-up question. Does that Labor regulation also apply to at-will employees? I’ve always thought that an at-will employee could be fired for any reason, or for no reason at all.
And I thought the only exception was that you cannot fire an at-will employee for a “protected class’ reason. For example, you cannot fire him just because of his race.
