Someone should watch the watchers

The article "Concerns cause employee monitoring," June 22, described increased surveillance of corporate assets such as phone and online access. The article should make us ask, "Who will watch the watchers and how far are the watchers willing to go?" While companies have a right to ensure that their assets are used productively, employees should remain skeptical since American employment possesses an adversarial nature.

I became skeptical when I discovered that I spent nine years of my Hoosier career listening to an Indiana University administrator say, "More for less," while he was stealing state funds. Some railroad employees should have become skeptical when their employer took blood to read their DNA.

Employees who are admonished to behave professionally while their employers engage in unfair salary distributions, wage slavery, price-fixing, insider trading, tax evasion, or political bribery are in a particularly ludicrous position.
