The Web page "Electronic Interaction in the Workplace: Monitoring, Retrieving and Storing Employee Communications in the Internet Age" at www.mlb.com/speech1.htm provides a good summary of employee rights issues from an employer's point of view. For information about employee privacy rights from a business's point of view check out Privacy & American Business at idt.net/~pab. You can find sample e-mail and voice-mail policies at www.cpsr.org/program/emailpolicy.html. You can find fact sheets on employee monitoring and employment background checks at the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse site, www.privacyrights.org (click on the "Fact Sheets" link). The ACLU's briefing on workplace rights, "Privacy in America: Electronic Monitoring" at www.aclu.org/library/pbr2.html is another excellent source of information. Also worth looking at is the Anchordesk article "The Boss Is Watching! Jesse's Privacy Self-Defense Lesson" at www.zdnet.com/anchordesk/story/
