The Privacy for Consumers and Workers Act (PCWA) was drafted in response to these concerns, and has been vigorously debated in both the House and the Senate. This article will address key arguments raised both in support of and in opposition to this legislation. Although the PCWA did not become law, the complex issues raised by unrestricted electronic monitoring of employees are likely to remain on the public policy agenda. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
