Derogatory statements on any social media site


Problem: The part time job at the party rental store is going fine, but you need more hours. So, you hear that there's an opening at Big Box Hardware. You fill out the job application and during your interview the store manager asks you for your login id and passwords for all social media sites like Twitter and Facebook. He tells you that Big Box does this for all applicants as part of the hiring process. He also shares that if you're hired, you will be required to sign an employment agreement that prohibits employees from posting any negative or derogatory statements on any social media site.

Discuss what legal issues are presented here and whether you have a strong legal argument to refuse to comply with Big Box requests.
