A contract between an employer and an employee. If one or both don't like the contract they are free to refuse and seek another employer or employee.

Though I agree with you on 99% of your posts ... I do not agree with the above. Granted that the BoR does not mention the "right to privacy" BUT it does have that little ( and mostly forgotten) thing about unreasonable search and seizure. I don't beleive that a company should be able to demand an employee to check their God given rights at the company door. The contract between an employer and employee is one of a business nature and not one of servitude. The statement that someone can go somewhere else to work fails when ALL employers require employees to "check their rights" at the door because no one is stopping them from doing so.

Each party is free to refuse entering into contract thus there cannot be servitude. Likewise the company can refuse to employee a person if they suspect the person would harm the company just as the prospective employee can refuse a job offer if they think the employer will harm them. Nobody is initiating force on anyone. How do you feel about having brain surgery done by an alcoholic brain surgeon?

When you invite a person onto your property do you judge there conduct according to the constitution or according to the rules that you have set? Sure the constitution says that they have freedom of speech and can watch and create pornographic videos, but does that mean you have to allow your visitors to do it on your property?
