can mgmt pull you for facebook comments

Yes

no names were mentioned

doesn't matter - implication is enough

work wasn,t mentioned

doesn't matter if considered bullying or harrassment. Or if the poster is a Royal Mail employee and their comments may have brought RM into disrepute.

mgmt assume comments are related to incident and putting 2 +2 together

and coming up with 6 - still thats the dangerous part of posting without self censoring.

do we have any privacy they actually printed comments of persons facebook without permission

If they posted it "public" then they made a schoolboy error

What does "Public" mean?

If you're comfortable making something you share open to anyone on the internet, you can choose Public from the audience selector before you post. Public includes people who are not your friends on Facebook, people who are not in your school or work networks and anyone on the internet.

are rm breaking any laws by this action

No see these threads on just this subject

and some extra off site reading from an employment lawyers site http://www.pjhlaw.co.uk/?s=facebook&opt ... s&Itemid=5" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

To be honest thats why we have so many warnings and threads about what you post on here, Facebook doesn't have Moderators so people have to be specially careful.

Don't go there. During the British Airways-Cabin Crew Dispute, of recent history. Staff were dismissed for comments made about the company/colleagues on Facebook

Bitch and moan about it as much as you like on here!

But still understand that being "anonymous" on here doesn't make you bullet proof.

Indeed suspensions and dismissals have been caused by posts on here.

You can easily be dismissed for comments and if they think they can get away with it they almost certainly will as I found out, regardless of whether the company name was mentioned or not.

However, at the time I was dismissed there was no clear policy, I'm not even sure what they have now can be classed as clear, but hey ho will find out at the tribunal in good time.
