Memo to a civil liberties organization on the case study "This company is bugging me"
The nightmarish scenario depicted in "This company is bugging me" is the terrifying consequence of allowing some of the most egregious company policies regarding employee behavior today. Employees have no constitutional right to privacy on the correspondence they disseminate on workplace computers (Privacy in America: Electronic monitoring, 1997, ACLU). When employed, they can be subjected to random drug tests. They can be barred from working at competitors for a specific duration of time in employment contracts, to protect company secrets. Employers are even trying to promote policies regarding smoking cessation and physical fitness, delving into matters once considered 'private business' (Shute 2013). In this instance, employers are effectively asserting their right to colonize their employee's bodies, ostensibly with the argument that if 'employees don't like it; they can always find work elsewhere.'
While it is true that employers can place certain reasonable limits on employees regarding...
There have been analogies to the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) to micro-chipping animals but this is not an appropriate comparison. First of all, the animals that are micro-chipped are the 'property' of the owners. Secondly, this is done for the welfare of the animal; to reduce the risks of potential problems should the pet become lost. Even if some employees have no problem being chipped, this does not mean that the rights of other employees and their concerns have no validation, particularly given the tried and untested nature of these devices.
A final consideration is proportionality. Is the risk posed by not 'chipping' employees that great to warrant such an intrusion into employee privacy? The vague fears about secrecy seem unsubstantiated. Furthermore, less intrusive security measures such as employee passwords and ID cards would seem to be almost as effective as the micro-chipping. There are also concerns about how 'tracking' employees might translate into other spheres of personal life -- could the company 'track' employees if they were late to work or went…

It might really seem lame, but dress codes are there for a reason - to protect you. You probably don't think
School Uniforms "If it means that the schoolrooms will be more orderly and more disciplined, and that our young people will learn to evaluate themselves by what they are on the inside instead of what they're wearing on the outside, then our public schools should be able to require their students to wear uniforms." -- President William Clinton (McDermott, 2009) The debate over school uniforms is not likely one that will go
Since gang-related clothing is usually color coded, children wearing certain types of clothing may make them unwitting targets for violence" (p. 40). As to the effect these policies have on gang-related violence, Gullatt cites a dearth of timely research in this area but reports the results of a survey of educators in 15 states who said they believed that public school uniforms would diminish the threat of gang violence

public schools a dress code . Your audience a group local school board Argumentative Public schools should most certainly employ a dress code with which their students should adhere to.
