Tom Long and Mark Short have formed a business and named it “The Long and the Short of It” (“L&S”). The following employment scenario raises new legal issues pertaining to this week’s reading that L&S must address. L&S believes that it can improve its profits by discouraging employee theft and shoplifting. As a result, it considering installing surveillance cameras in conspicuous locations. L&S is also contemplating tape-recording phone conversations to monitor personal phone use, which it believes has become a problem. Finally, L&S wants to prohibit use of its e-mail system for private messages after receiving a complaint from a customer who received an inappropriate joke through L&S’s e-mail. The joke was mistakenly sent to the customer by Rodney Fraizer, an employee, instead of to his friend. But the damage was done. 1. Are the employees’ privacy interests violated by the installation of surveillance cameras? Why or why not? 2. Are the employees’ privacy interests violated by the tape-recording of phone calls to monitor personal phone use? Why or why not? 3. Are the employees’ privacy interests violated by prohibiting the use of its e-mail system for private messages?
