More on how blogging can be hazardous to your employment

My colleagues keep sending me links to news stories about people who get fired from work because of their blogs. . . .  The latest is from the Washington Post:

Usually the blogger has little protection. "In most states," said Gregg M. Lemley, a St. Louis labor lawyer, "if an employer doesn't like what you're talking about, they can simply terminate you."

Yep, no First Amendment protection for those of you who work for private employers.  Oh well, at least the WaPo story is mostly about people who bad-mouthed their employers on their blogs.
