The term "concerted activity" refers to the legal protection given to employees who engage in activities such as discussions or efforts to improve working conditions or job-related issues. If online commentary falls under this category, then an employee cannot be legally fired for it. Other options such as water-cooler talk, free expression, or part of the grapevine do not have such legal protection. Corporate social responsibility may be important for a company to adhere to, but it does not necessarily relate to an employee's online commentary and protection from being fired.
