Legal Question in Employment Law in Louisiana
I was sent an email to my personal address inquiring about a work related matter. My boss wants a copy of that email. Since it came to my personal account yet is somewhat work related, am I legally obligated to give him a copy?

Re: Email
I do not think "legal" is involved here unless the e-mail had something to do with a trade secret or the content somehow could compromise the business. However, since Louisiana is an "employment at will" State, you could be fired for not turning it over. I suspect the call is yours.
