QuestionQ122

Workplace Privacy

In which area does Larry hold a misconception concerning private-sector employees’ rights?

  • A The applicability of federal law
  • B The enforceability of local law
  • C The strict nature of state law
  • D The definition of tort law
Explanation

Constitutional protections generally constrain governmental action, not the actions of a purely private employer. A private-sector worker may have protections under specific federal or state employment statutes, but a supervisor’s conduct does not itself constitute a Fourth Amendment or other constitutional violation unless the employer’s conduct is attributable to the government.
