IntroductionThe National Labor Relations Act (NLRA or Act)1 gives employees the right engage in . . . for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection.2 When President Roosevelt signed the Act into law in 1935, few could have imagined the new contexts in which concerted activities would arise. The Act's drafters envisioned a workplace in which employees communicated with each other in person. Employee communication is no longer so limited, however. Facebook and other social networking websites have altered this traditional water cooler model, creating new spaces in which employees interact.With these new spaces come new questions. Chief among them is how the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB or Board)3 should apply the Act's activity provision in cases involving a virtual water cooler. Do existing standards for defining activity make sense when applied in the social media context, or should the NLRB alter them to better comport with the realities of contemporary interaction? Facebook firing cases - cases in which an employer fires an employee because of a Facebook posting - provide insight.Adapting the present activity standard for application in Facebook firing cases has presented the Board with numerous challenges. The source of these challenges is the very nature of social media; the forum itself makes it more difficult to distinguish reasonably between activity that is and activity that is not. Furthermore, the forum alters the calculus of interest balancing in which the Board must engage to effectuate the Act's purposes. While the Board has attempted to clarify how social media will fit into existing doctrine, uncertainty remains.This Note examines why uncertainty remains and offers three temporally based approaches to remedy the uncertainty. Part II of this Note explores the Board's present interpretation of activity. Part III details how entities within the Board have applied the standard in Facebook firing cases. Part TV examines why the application of the standard in Facebook firing cases is problematic. Part V suggests three approaches that the Board should consider: promulgating a model social media policy; identifying factors that tend to indicate concertedness in the social media context; and applying a more stringent loss-ofprotection standard to cases involving social media. These approaches are not mutually exclusive and recognize both the unique attributes of the social media context and the interests that the context implicates.II.
