Dawn Solowey Quoted in Two Wall Street Journal Articles on Employer Responses to Charlie Kirk-Related Social Media Posts
The Wall Street Journal quoted partner Dawn Solowey in two separate articles examining how employers are responding to employee social media activity following the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
In the first article, “Some Workers Are Losing Their Jobs Over Comments About Charlie Kirk’s Death,” published on September 12, Solowey shared legal insight into how employers are responding to employee social media activity in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s death, particularly when posts conflict with reputational standards.
In the second article, “Workers Are Getting Fired Over Posts Mocking Charlie Kirk’s Death,” published on September 15, Solowey provided a legal perspective on how employers are navigating the intersection of free speech and workplace policies in the wake of controversial social media posts.
Both articles are available on The Wall Street Journal’s website.
