You Posted What?! Consideration for Employers’ Social Media Policies in 2025

Explore the evolving role of social media in the workplace and the growing need for employers to update policies to address emerging trends. Effective policies should protect confidential information, ensure compliance with labor laws—particularly the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA)—and balance employee rights with company interests while restricting filming in sensitive areas. 


 

Feds Make Changes to Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs

Starting July 7, fentanyl will be included in Department of Transportation (DOT) drug screenings for truck drivers, reflecting growing concerns over its role in the rise of overdose deaths in the U.S. Previously excluded due to its frequent mixture with heroin, fentanyl now poses a significant public safety risk. According to the National Forensic Laboratory Information System, it is the third-most commonly identified drug in forensic reports.
