Case Study # $3$: The case study for the employment law course, analyze some social media posts that four Groovia employees have made on X $($formerly Twitter$)$ and Facebook. For the cases study, please presume that ABC is paying its employees under the Minnesota State and local minimum wage laws, regardless of whether your state or city has higher minimum wage statutes. In the memo, identify Minnesota State and local laws statute provisions guiding the case.

that what is written below.

In a memo addressed to the CEO of Groovia, Inc., Brooklyn Carver, answer and discuss the following four

questions regarding the Facebook thread between Sara Middleton, Jose Mendez and Patty Monson, as

well as the Tweet posted by Frank Dumas.

$1.$ The legal claims that the employees might face for their posting

$2.$ The legal claims that Groovia, Inc. might face if it takes action $($discipline or termination$)$

against the employees for their social media postings

$3.$ What recommendations you would make to Groovia, Inc. and to Carver for dealing with

these employees

$4.$ How you think a court would rule if the case were to go to trial. For this answer, please

explain why you have reached that conclusion.

You are the HR Manager at Groovia, Inc. The company has yet to adopt a formal, written social media

policy, although you and the other staff in the HR Office have discouraged managers and supervisor

from $$friending$$ their subordinates on Facebook or following them on other social media sites. You have

heard through the grapevine that many managers and supervisors are $$friends$$ with their subordinates

or follow them on Twitter, Instagram and Snap Chat.

One of the company$$s supervisors, Anika Patel, brought to your attention the following Facebook thread

between Sara Middleton, Jose Mendez and Patty Monson, as well as the Tweet posted by Frank Dumas.

When asked how she learned about the posts and the Tweet, Anika told you that another employee

who works with Sara, Jose, Patty and Frank, showed them to her.

Sara Middleton

Fellow Groovia employees! This should be us$!$ Let$$s take a stance like

these workers have! We want better than the poverty$-$level pay we

get! We want $$20/$hour and we want it now! How do they expect

anyone to make a decent living with the pennies they pay us$???$

Jose Mendez

I agree! One of the new guys told me that he was

starting at $$12\mathrm{.}00/$hour$!$ How can anyone live on

that?

Patty Monson

What about the CEO?? I know that Carver never has

to worry about how to pay rent given the millions

that Carver must earn!!! #Fightformore

#payusmorerno

After Anika showed you this Tweet from Frank Dumas, you looked through his Twitter feed and from

what you were able to observe, there were no responses to Frank$$s Tweet and no additional Tweets by

Frank about Groovia.
