Steve,

What about people who work from home? Does the employee have the right to
privacy in their own home?

What about when I visit the restroom at work, or eat in the lunch room
should I expect privacy there? As strange as it might seem I have taken work
related calls whilst eating, and I have taken then sitting on the toilet. In
many cases this is expected by the employer.

You have to remember that not all of us sit in a cubicle 5-9, and you have
to allow for everyone in your law making.

If I am at work and my wife rings me to tell me she has miscarried should my
employer have the right to know that? Employers can't have it both ways,
they can't expect you to revolve your life around the company and then
expect to be part of every detail of your life.
