Dawnmarie Souza was fired from American Medical Response (AMR) after using vulgarities to ridicule her supervisor in a Facebook posting. Souza also wrote, using the company’s terminology for a psychiatric patient: “Love how the company allows a 17 to become a supervisor.” (17 is the company’s code for a psychiatric patient.) Ms. Souza filed a complaint with the NLRB for AMR’s retaliatory conduct and interference with her right to organize fellow employees.
