Yesterday's order list denying cert to Consolidated Freightways: http://www.supremecourtus.gov/orders/courtorders/010702pzor.pdf Previous decision, which the supremes let stand: http://www.politechbot.com/p-02152.html >A trucking company can't install hidden cameras and microphones in >employee bathrooms, a federal appeals court said. Consolidated Freightways >argued that it was allowed to place surveillance devices behind mirrors in >restrooms at its terminal in Mira Loma, California because of a collective >bargaining agreement it inked with the Teamsters that was protected under >federal law. But when workers discovered the equipment after a mirror fell >out of the wall, they sued under a California state law saying anyone who >installs a "two-way mirror permitting observation of any restroom" is >guilty of a misdemeanor. -Declan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
