      ab: The writer discusses the protection of workers' privacy. He contends that, despite being a wide-ranging subject that has taken on greater significance in recent decades, workers' privacy has only recently started to be recognized in the jurisprudence of some countries. He uses reports on ten countries in South and North America as the basis for outlining the legal provisions governing workers' rights to privacy. He then compares and contrasts the approaches to protection adopted at various levels of development and in different legal systems, both in theory and in practice. His main conclusions are that the subject of workers' privacy is a vast one, with many facets and consequences; that it is a sensitive subject, as it involves contrast and comparison with other rights, including respect for the truth; and that it is a difficult subject requiring balance, moderation, and fine judgment. Finally, he makes suggestions for putting the protection of the right to privacy on a sounder footing.
