Legal Question in Employment Law in Massachusetts
listening in on my conversations
my husband works at a mini-mart gas station that
recently installed both video and audio survelliance
cameras i know that it's legal to video but is it
against my husbands civil rights to be voice recorded?
he feels that the company has the right to video the
store because of theift but why do they have to record
the voices?
thank you

Re: listening in on my conversations
Federal wiretap law prevents audio recording and state law requires two-party consent so, even if your husband "consented" the other party would have to do so as well. In short, you are right.
