What other constitutional rights do you expect employees to give up? All of them?
You must be a lawyer.

I’m not a lawyer. But , I play one on Free Republic. :-)
It is not about what rights I “expect” emplyees to give up, it is about what rights they simply don’t have in the workplace.
Go up to the CEO of your company and tell him he is an incompetent fool and his wife is ugly and see how much freedom of speech you have in the office, compared to outside the office.
Freedom of assembly is practically non-existant in the office, except to the extent management allows it.
Freedom of the press? Start a company newsletter, critical of management, or the company’s products and distribute in the office, and see how long that is allowed.
Freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures? Your employer can search your work area and computer without a warrant or your consent.
The right against self-incrimination? If some money or product is stolen and you refuse to answer any questions about it from management, do you think they can’t fire you?
A workplace where employees enjoyed all their constitional rights, to the same extent they enjoy them at home or on public property, would be chaotic...almost as bad as a union shop. :-)
