The National Labor Relations Board ruled against the Mexican fast-food chain in a decision last week that determined that the company’s social media policy violated federal labor law. The policy had prohibited employees from using social media to circulate “inaccurate information”. The policy was used to justify the firing of James Kennedy, an employee who tweeted his frustration with wages and circulated a petition demanding mandated breaks on Twitter. Chipotle has been ordered to stop enforcing the policy and can no longer fire employees for circulating petitions on social media.
