Supreme Court: Employees' Text Messages Not Private
The Supreme Court ruled today an employer can access and read an employee's text messages. The opinion is here.
The court said while doing so was a search, it was a reasonable one conducted for a legitimate work-related purpose.
In its first ruling on the rights of employees who send messages on the job, the Supreme Court rejected a broad right of privacy for workers Thursday and said supervisors may read through an employee's text messages if they suspect work rules are being violated.
