I would be surprised if disparaging a corporation is protected the same as disparaging an individual... but one never knows in this crazy world.
I know an employer can establish policy, but in doing so, I don't think they can violate the Constitution.
(Of course by disparaging, I mean writing verifiable facts that might not be pleasant to read, but are true.)
When you look at the Constitution, the vast majority of it speaks to what the government can, or cannot do.
Delta, or any other employer (except the government), can restrict any kind of speech they want to. The only thing that protects employees is their bargaining agent and/or the possibility of bad publicity.
