Committee Spotlight
Technology in the Practice and Workplace
* Committee Home Page
Is it a violation of an employee's privacy to read her e-mail? Can a union use the employer's e-mail system for solicitation, distribution, and/or organization? Can you legally track an employee's whereabouts with the use of GPS technology? Can an employer be held responsible for the safety of an employee who telecommutes from home? Can an attorney secretly tape conversations with opposing counsel or advise his client to tape meetings with his supervisor? What are an attorney's obligations with respect to preservation and production of electronic discovery? As these questions illustrate, technology has infiltrated almost every aspect of labor and employment law, both substantively and in its practice.
Because of the tremendous influence of technology in the workplace, the Section created the Technology Committee in May 2000. The Committee focuses on three areas: (1) examining the impact of technology on substantive labor and employment issues; (2) exploring the impact and use of technology on the practice of law; and, (3) serving as a resource to Section members.
If you are interested in learning more about the Technology Committee or getting involved, please contact one of the Committee's Co-Chairs. If you would like to contribute to the Committee's newsletter, please send articles, news, and ideas for future issues to one of the Co-Chairs or to the newsletter's editor, Gary Glaser at gglaser@seyfarth.com.
The Flash has been called the ABA Labor and Employment Law Section's bulletin board: it carries a regular message from the Chair and a monthly update of Section news and events plus hot topics in the field of Labor and Employment Law.
