I suppose it depends on how something is said. If someone says something
like "I work for State Rail and all passengers are arseholes" then State
Rail would probably have the right to say something to them.

If, on the other hand, it was something like "I work for a rail organisation
and all passengers are arseholes" then maybe not, as they could work for
anyone (a freight operator? Of course passengers are arseholes, since
passenger trains delay freight trains) and they are not bringing their
employer down.
