Facts

Anita Granger filed a complaint against The Kroger Co. of Michigan.

PLAINTIFF'S CONTENTIONS:
Granger contended that Kroger engaged in unfair labor practices by maintaining an online communication policy that violated the National Labor Relations Act because it was too overbroad. The policy required employees to use a disclaimer if they were to identify as an employee of the company and publish any work-related information online. Granger also contended that she was wrongfully disciplined for violating this policy.

DEFENDANT'S CONTENTIONS:
Kroger denied Granger's allegations and also contended that her claim was barred by the statute of limitations.

Result

Administrative Law Judge David I. Goldman found that Kroger engaged in unfair labor practices by maintaining an overly broad online communications policy. The judge then ordered it to cease and desist from further violating the Act.
