Add Comment Question: My employer has been secretly recording us without our knowledge or consent, and wrote me up for words I said in private to coworkers. He referenced in the write up that he was listening in to our conversation without him present. I believe this to be immoral, but is it illegal? Answer: employers with 25 or more employees must let you know if they are electronically surveilling you.
