The question of whether the American workplace can be allowed to function in a democratic fashion is mainly dependent on rights to privacy. Even though we live in a democracy, in the workplace you are not guaranteed democratic rights one hundred percent of the time. It is a direct result of whether a legal right to privacy exists. One factor that makes such democracy limited is technology. Technology has eroded expectations of privacy and finally to one’s right to privacy (Segal, 2002). Using advanced technology for repeatedly at the workplace and at home has made the protection between the highly protected home and the less protected workplace to break down.

At the moment America is facing worldwide completion on democracy at the workplace. Many people feel that American workers have so many rights that have been rendered redundant especially by technology. Employees, for instance, are unable to bring the stronger home-based privacy protections into work. At the same time, interests of the American employer have begun to intrude upon the sanctity of the home. This Article argues that as more workers bring their work into their home and private lives, workplace restrictions on privacy will erode the one last bastion of privacy-one's home. The completion can only be won by reducing the number of privacy rights and maintaining those that can promote democracy in the workplace.

It is very difficult to allow the American workplace to function in a democratic fashion given the challenges that technology has presented on worker’s privacy at the workplace. The foreign competition can be won by reducing the number of privacy rights and maintaining those that can promote democracy in the workplace.

Charley,

The encroachment of technology into workplaces will inevitably change how we look at rights. I am sure as mediums change and our ability to do more and more work with different tools, laws will change to keep up. Unsure what the future will bring, but I agree that technology will present more and more challenges not just with privacy. I have a suspicion that we will soon be dealing with unthought-of challenges in the workplace.
