Retirement....The Job I Was Born To Have!

I'm having a problem with the concept that the cameras are illegal because they only focus on one person. The security cameras at banks and convenience stores all have cameras that are focused only on the person standing across the counter from the clerk.
It is true that security cameras can focus on one person at a bank or convenience store. It is also true that each individual has the ability to.....not shop or use that particular facility.
That is not true of an employer changing the rules of employment and requiring a....personal camera attached to your...face, as it were.
Employment-At-Will..(non-Union..) means that the first time you...punch in and ..."accept"...your employer's..."conditions" i.e "cameras"...you have now given them "permission"....to continue viewing you...(...AND owning any video produced....).....
....in spite of NLRB rulings about employers having to ...negotiate...changes in employment conditions.
You've...."accepted"...the camera/condition,...and that negates the law.....
Union contracts spell out and reinforce the NLRB law that requires....negotiations.....BEFORE imposing a new "condition of employment"......
And that is precisely why they haven't turned the cameras on........And,..the companies' ..."argument"..to the Teamsters will be: "Gee,...We've already spent all this massive amount on the technology and installation,....You've GOT to let us use it!"
And,....if the Teamster leadership.......nods it's collective head,...sucks back the drop of drool hanging from it's collective lip,.....and acquiesces to the company pleadings.....and declares: "Negotiations Over! Company Allowed to Play With Their New Toy!"....
That would be an indication to the rank-and-file that the.....Leadership....has lost it's moral foundation, and is beholden to both the trial lawyers, insurance companies, and the employers,......in a sick and incestuous sort of way........
Ooops! I just remembered that the General President of the Teamsters,...is a Lawyer by trade.......
Golly! I hope that doesn't.....influence...him in any way.......
