Facebook, Twitter, and other social media are useful tools to quickly disseminate information. What might be some risks in using social media to communicate information quickly?
Labor Talks and Social MediaLabor negotiations used to be discussed behind closed doors. Now union members learn about contract proposals though websites and social media. When the United Auto Workers (UAW) negotiated contracts in 2011, the union and the employer set up secure websites that allowed workers to receive e-mail updates and post proposed contracts. Through Facebook, workers at plants in Kansas, Michigan, and Indiana could voice their concerns and ask questions directly to the bargaining teams.
