IUPAT Social Media Policy
The IUPAT sponsors this social media site to discuss and advocate for the important issues facing members and working families today.
Readers should understand, however, that comments posted by other readers do not necessarily represent the views of the IUPAT, nor do links provided on this site constitute an endorsement by IUPAT.
We encourage civil comment and debate and we will not block or delete comments simply because they express views contrary to IUPAT positions. However, we will insist on civility. For that reason, we will remove comments that attack others on the basis of race, gender, nationality, ethnicity or sexual orientation and comments that advocate violence. Because it is impossible to list all types of commentary that is disrespectful or inappropriate, we also reserve the right to remove any other comments we consider inappropriate, and to block or remove any individual who repeatedly posts inappropriate comments. We do this not to stifle dissent, but to promote an exchange of ideas instead of ad hominin attacks.
Employee users should remember that employers frequently monitor social media sites and that they may use information they find there as grounds to discipline or discharge employees. Federal law protects your right to join with others to protest substandard working conditions and to seek to improve your wages and working conditions. Please understand, however, that you nonetheless may be subject to discipline for speech that causes harm to others or that is disloyal to your employer’s legitimate interests.
