Expert advice: self-assessment risk
Littler Mendelson Senior Adviser Christopher Cobey said that there is no new intention of labor contributions involving the network, just the extension of the general legal concept, and this type of thing is endless after entering the workplace from the computer and the network. He said: "This is the consequence of continuous development of technology. It is similar to the computer from the computer to the computer, to the website and email. The real problem is how people use them, use the purpose, and influence work."
COBEY pointed out that employers have considerable space to restrict employees to express their opinions on any disclosure, express contact with company operations or reputation. In California, this kind of free hiring method is the highest risk. But even if the protection of labor collective negotiation agreements, labor cannot arbitrarily criticize the company or expose confidential information.
