Re: EU Workplace Privacy Ruling

Dude, read the article.

The reason she won is that the company DID have a AUP (Acceptable Use Policy), but never told the employees that they are monitoring all communications. Because of that, the the court ruled that she had "A reasonable expectation of privacy", hence the ruling under Article 8.

In the States, as long as the AUP for the company says you all communications are being monitored, you can pretty much snoop on anything they are doing from a corporate asset.

Yes that is true. My company had written policies that all employees had to sign for and admit they read. And those policies stated the company could read any and all emails and listen in and record any phone conversations.
