All this started when a large corporation in Oklahoma brought in dogs to sniff through their workers vehicles. They "hit" on several vehicles, and the company then conducted a search of those vehicles. They found some guns and fired the workers that had them in their vehicles. The OK legislature then acted to put an end to this nonsense.
Does being a "conservative" now mean supporting multinational corporations conducting Soviet-style invasions of privacy against their workers?
The truth is that this is NOT something that should happen in America. Corporations shouldn't be able to rifle through their workers vehicles any more than they should be able to dictate who they vote for, or who they sleep with. Of course, you could argue "contract law" to defend any of the above. But when contract law unduly infringes upon individual Rights, the state has the power and the obligation to step in and stop it.
You cannot contract away your basic Rights. Period.
You are wrong.
The flaw in your "logic" boils right down to the basic concept of property.
Where are these things happening?
They CAN rifle through vehicles if the employee knew (and accepted) that the employer retained the right to rifle through the vehicle as a condition of employment and as a condition of use of the parking lot.
They may not tell you who to sleep with, but they CAN tell you that you can't do it in your office, on the assembly line, and during work hours while being paid to perform a work function.
And while they can't tell you who to vote for, they CAN tell you not to campaign while you are working.
"You cannot contract away your basic Rights"
How consistent...now you've decided that you make the rules for how I conduct myself in respect to my individual rights.
