The Need for a Constitutional Right to Privacy

[Mme. Defarge]

Perhaps, if the Constitution actually did provide for a right to privacy, it could not only serve as a basis for protecting the right to choose, but also allow for legislation addressing the assault on privacy in the workplace. Along with forcing people to give birth, I consider the all pervasive monitoring of employees’ every keystroke, mouse click, movement, breath, heartbeat, bathroom break, a form of legalized workplace violence. In both cases, an insidious kind if slavery.

1. A constitutional right to privacy

Would only limit the actions of the government, not a private employer.

A right to privacy would not apply to your actions on a company computer while on the clock anymore than the 1st amendment gives you the right to say what ever you want in the office.

And no, monitoring employees is not violence. That's ridiculous and more than a little offensive to actual victims of violence.
