How Social Media Starts FiresIt starts with a single inappropriate post.
The post sets the fire and it is spread when others share.
Once it reaches the Internet, it can spread to a point of no return.

General Posting Guidelines
Be kind, respectful, helpful and positive.
Think before you post. Is that comment and/or photo going to come back to haunt you later?
Don’t curse online.
Never make negative comments or spread rumors about anyone. It depreciates their reputation and yours. ~ Brian Koslow
![Page 24: Social Media Fire Prevention](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58ce88391a28ab210a8b706b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Digital Reputation Action Plan1. Go through your social posts, including blog comments and
delete what you feel isn't appropriate.
2. Have others shared or posted photos or comments that you aren’t comfortable with? Ask them respectfully to remove.
3. Don’t be timid about asking friends and family not to post photos of you that you aren’t comfortable showing.
4. Are you on LinkedIn? It’s an online network devoted to business. Are you presenting yourself well on this network? Go and evaluate.
Be aware of you behavior offline too, because what you do offline can quickly go online by those around you taking photos and videos with their smart phones.
REMEMBER: People forget but Google, Bing, Yahoo and YouTube don’t. Protect your digital reputation. It's a public record of what you do online. It's hard to erase once it floats to the air waves.

National Labor Relations Board & Social Media
The NLRB and Social MediaThe National Labor Relations Act protects the rights of employees to act together to address conditions at work, with or without a union. This protection extends to certain work-related conversations conducted on social media, such as Facebook and Twitter. ~ National Labor Relations Board Article
Protected Concerted Activity

NLRB Social Media Report
• Employer policies should not be so sweeping that they prohibit
the kinds of activity protected by federal labor law, such as the
discussion of wages or working conditions among employees.
• An employee’s comments on social media are generally
not protected if they are mere gripes not made in relation
to group activity among employees.
