In Mastec Advanced Technologies, 26 service technicians were fired after appearing on a television news show to complain about their employer's instructions about how to persuade customers to install phone connections for their satellite television service, and the charge-backs to employees' pay if they did not procure such connections. Phone connections were not necessary for the service to
work, but the company earned more money if phone connections were installed. Regarding the terminations, the court ruled:
a. for the employer, since it is not a protected concerted activity for an employee to make disparaging remarks to 3rd parties, since it shows disloyalty
b. for the employer, because its business policies were within its discretion
c. for the employees, because they did not speak disparagingly about their employer
d. for the employees, because they spoke truthfully about an ongoing labor dispute
