Trucking companies are requiring drivers to sign wavers to secure employment. If you refuse to sign, no job. Drivecams are in the cab watching drivers constantly for liability purposes.
Here's my problem, requiring drivers is a polite way of forcing drivers to sign to gain employment.
I'm confident a good attorney can prove some level of discrimination to gain employment.
With that said some drivers are over the road. Some are out occasionally during the week. These cameras record sound as well as picture. When your shift is over and your on your ten hr reset, "THERE IS NO PRIVACY!"
if you call your wife.... they're listening.
Call your family... they're listening.
Call a friend ... you get the picture.
That truck is our home on the road and when we're not on duty that's our time... not theirs.
I can't help to think this is a form of discrimination and invasion of privacy. If you look at our advancing society. We face cyber attacks, hacking accts. How do we know one day we don't end up on you tube only to be told some stold the videos.
.....AND WHO SAYS WHEN YOU LEAVE A COMPANY ONE OF THISE VIDEOS ISNT PASSED TO YOUR NEXT EMPLOYER. possibly a little defimation of character.
Drivers have allot to lose here.
