[quote=Anonymous]OP, I hope you went to the NLRB, as PPs suggested. Many years ago, a colleague was fired for meeting with a group of employees and complaining about the boss. She went to the NLRB and filed a complaint immediately. The company was so horrified and embarrassed that they settled almost immediately. No, she did not get her job back, but she got some money to tide her over until she found another job. And she got a neutral job reference. I was shocked that she knew to do this, and that it worked, but it did. The NLRB is more powerful than you think, and they do protect workers' rights.

I agree that it's stupid to complain about your workplace on FB, but on the other hand, you should not be fired for having a legitimate complaint about workplace conditions. If you simply posted that you are unhappy that you have not received a raise in two years and that you are scheduled for overtime without being consulted first, then I think you have a legitimate complaint. If you pissed all over your employer on FB, then they may have reasonable cause for firing you. [/quote]
