Segundo volumen dedicado a la intimidad de los trabajadores. Aquí se tratan las prácticas de supervisión y vigilancia de los trabajadores en sus empresas. En primer lugar se tratan estos temas de forma general, y en segundo lugar, en particular en cada país, estudiando su situación legal y real. La tecnología electrónica se usa cada vez más para el control de los trabajadores, lo cual puede hacerse sin su conocimiento. La supervisión informática y telefónica, la vigilancia por vídeos y la utilización de dispositivos de escucha se encuentran entre las prácticas más frecuentes, que pueden producir miedo, ansiedad y estrés a los trabajadores. Además, se pueden usar ciertas prácticas para discriminar a alguno de ellos.

The impact of new information technologies upon the employment relationship suggests that it may now be necessary to rethink current legal structures. This gives rise to a conceptual question of fundamental importance: are we facing the emergence of a new paradigm of surveillance and data processing in the employment relationship, or has there merely been a reframing of the existing questions related to the limits of the employer's power of command, especially in relation to employee privacy? This article discusses possible answers to these questions. The national studies on which it is based indicate that, in the legal systems considered, there is a certain absence of answers (in terms of judicial decisions) and a certain difficulty in the formulation of an adequate judicial response (in terms of the application of the existing law to individual cases). New dilemmas have arisen that are related to the long-standing confrontation between employers' powers of command (specifically, the power to conduct surveillance of workers and to process their personal data) and the protection of employees' privacy. These new dilemmas must be set in the context of three other (sometimes conflicting) developments: the blurring of the boundaries between the private sphere and the employment sphere, the development of the workplace as a space of total disciplinary control, and the extension of the status of "citizen" (a public matter) to the employment relationship (which remains a private matter). Together, these developments may point to the emergence of a new paradigm.

The English law on computer surveillance at work and on the processing of personal data about workers has undergone enormous changes since 1998. Four significant pieces of legislation have been passed: the Data Protection Act 1998, which, in implementing the requirements of European Directive 95/46/EC has widened the scope and effect of the law on the processing of personal data; the Human Rights Act 1998, which for the first time establishes a set of rights (including a right to respect for one's private life) as a source of fundamental principles for English law; the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, which establishes a general rule that consent must be obtained before communications may lawfully be intercepted; and the Lawful Business Practice Regulations 2000, which, in contrast to all the other new legislation, appears to grant employers powers to intercept the communications of their workers without their consent. The full effect of these changes will not become clear for some time. Although workplace surveillance and data processing will certainly be much more regulated than before, no small degree of confusion and controversy has arisen in the discussion of how the new laws will be (or should be) applied in specific circumstances. This article presents a detailed examination of the law as it now stands, with close reference to the attempts by the national data protection authority to clarify the law by drawing up a code of practice.

The misuse of an organization's information systems by employees, whether through error or by intent, can result in leaked and corrupted data, crippled networks, lost productivity, legal problems, and public embarrassment. As organizations turn to technology to monitor employee use of network resources, they are finding themselves at odds with workers who instinctively feel their privacy is being invaded. The Visible Employee reports the results of an extensive four-year research project, covering a range of security solutions for at-risk organizations as well as the perceptions and attitudes of employees toward monitoring and surveillance. The result is a wake-up call for business owners, managers, and IT staff, as well as an eye-opening dose of reality for employees.

The use of information technology at work has emphasised a tension between two distinct principles: firstly, the inviolability of employees' private lives and private communications and, secondly, the rights of employers to enjoy their private property and to exercise their managerial powers. This situation has required a new balance to be set between surveillance and privacy at work. However, the law cannot set precise rules: decisions must depend on circumstances of each individual case. This is why national legal systems give very few definite and clear legal rules, but rather make decisions on a case-by-case basis. Some national constitutions and laws explicitly protect privacy, for example, in respect of private communications. In other countries, a similar protection may be inferred from general principles or from international treaties on human rights. Many of these sources of law are not directly enforceable, but serve as a guide for the interpretation of national law. Where an employment contract is concerned, employers and employees may be able to go to the labor courts in order to enforce their rights. But even in countries with a codified system of labor law, there are few explicit rules in this area, so these courts still have to apply general principles and look to case law. In the United States, the law of tort is particularly significant, and in the Member States of the European Union, Directive 95/46/EC establishes very clear rules on the surveillance of workers and on the processing of their personal data - and it also requires all Member States to establish a public enforcement authority. There may also be questions of criminal law in all countries, although these may be limited by the difficulties in proving intent. Otherwise, it is for the employer to set clear guidelines: employees have no right to make private use of their employer's computer facilities, even if there are no additional costs for the latter. Where the employer accepts the private use of computers, most national laws require that employees then be informed before e-mail and Internet use are monitored, and in some countries, the workers' representatives must also be informed. And, even where employers expressly forbid the private use of their computer facilities, courts may be reluctant to accept that a breach of this rule is a legitimate grounds for dismissal in all but the most extreme cases.

The widespread use of information technologies means that the surveillance of workers and the processing of personal data about them can now be much more effective - and much more intrusive - than ever before. This introduction sets the scene for a collection of papers that examine this issue (some by describing the law in a particular country, some by examining a particular issue of comparative law). It argues that, although some degree of surveillance and data processing is a normal and perfectly legitimate part of most employment relationships, the use of computer technologies has resulted in some very significant changes in the nature of both, and that it is therefore appropriate to reassess the role of the law in setting a balance between the rights and interests of employers and employees in this area. This question is sometimes presented in terms of a contest between, on the one hand, the new and pressing needs of businesses (many of which arise from the use of new technologies), and on the other, the somewhat vague concept of the employees' right to privacy. Such a framework for debate should be considered very carefully. Privacy, although difficult to define, is nevertheless taken to be a fundamental right in all of the countries covered by this study. And many of the arguments in favor of using the increasingly-efficient - and increasingly-intrusive - means of surveillance and data processing that are now available, appear to relate less to the absolute needs of employers, and more to the convenience for employers in taking advantage of these new opportunities, irrespective of the consequences for the privacy of employees. There are no easy solutions to these questions and, in drawing a balance between the opposing rights and interests, national laws will doubtless build on their own particular traditions. Nonetheless, given that other legal systems are also having to address these same difficult questions, it is hoped that an examination and comparison of the different ways in which they are doing so will prove interesting and useful.

In recent years, new and more intrusive surveillance technology has found its way into workplaces. New medical tests provide detailed information about workers' biology that was previously unthinkable. An increasing number of employees work under camera surveillance. At the same time, computers allow for a detailed monitoring of our interactions with machines, and all this information can be electronically stored in an easily accessible format. What is happening in our workplaces? Has the trend towards more humane workplaces been broken? From an ethical point of view, which types and degrees of surveillance are acceptable, and which are not? From a policy point of view, what methods can be used to regulate the use of surveillance technology in workplaces? These are some of the questions that have driven the research reported in this book. Written by an interdisciplinary group of researchers in Computer Ethics, Medical Ethics and Moral Philosophy, this book provides a broad overview that covers both empirical and normative aspects of workplace privacy.
