On Oct. 21, 2015, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed a 2014 decision by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) overturning the terminations of two employees who had complained about their employer on Facebook. As previously reported, the NLRB concluded that the terminations violated the employees' Section 7 rights under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), because their Facebook activity was legally protected. (In a Facebook status, one employee had complained about Triple Play's failure to properly withhold payroll taxes, and a co-worker had “liked” the post). See “Recent NLRB Actions Force Employers to Change Established Policies and Practices,” The Corporate Counselor , February 2015, available at http://bit.ly/1RSwmZ3.
Section 7 of the NLRA protects employees who engage in concerted activity for the purpose of mutual aid or protection, and Section 8 of the Act prohibits employers from terminating employees who exercise their Section 7 rights. However, there are limits to these rights, and concerted activity may lose the Act's protection if it exceeds certain bounds, for example if the activity was so disloyal or defamatory that it is no longer protected.

In recent years, there has been a growing number of dry cleaners claiming to be "organic," "green," or "eco-friendly." While that may be true with respect to some, many dry cleaners continue to use a cleaning method involving the use of a solvent called perchloroethylene, commonly known as perc.
