Employers will be allowed to ask for Facebook Passwords

I think you have to look at the bigger picture, it's not actually about you. It's about a system they've developed to ensure 0 tolerance, and the only way to achieve that is to test EVERYBODY. Once they start making exceptions for any reason the system is eventually going to fail.

All true. I don't see how that's my problem though.

When you're your own friend, if you get mad at yourself, you can delete one of you.

i've already blocked both of me.

Only if you want to work there -

Since this is a US story, and the Bamster is currently in charge, and he is out taking liberties away from the citizens, there is no doubt in my mind that the assertion of the OP is correct.

Obama's hated, Bush was hated, Clinton was hated, Reagan was hated, hope someone acceptable shows up soon.

Let's see, the amendment was defeated by the Republicans in the House, and you blame Obama?

Wow, your racism is completely out of control.

I
I know I turned down one job in the US when they wanted me to pee in a bottle. I told them it would never occur to me to show up to work under the uinfluence of drugs. They said they needed to do the test anyway. I said I didn't want to work for them then, no hard feelings.

This doesn't have much to do with me as I am my own employer. That is unless
one of my other personalities wants the information. Seriously, if you want to
avoid nasty things ending up in places you don't want. Do not post anything
you don't want people to see.

So I shouldn't write letters to friends? Sorry, that's not gonna happen.

My personal facebook account is also my personal e-mail account. No one has the right to access it but me. If my employer has some burning need to see what's going on publicly on my facebook account, he's welcome to peruse the internet and see what is visible. He has no right to access what is not publicly visible (which is the only reason they'd need the password).

Just because a person refuses does not mean they are using illegal drugs. The right for a company to request or enforce random sampling will soon be addressed by the SCoC.

Hubby's company abandoned random testing ages ago because it violates individual rights. The industry standard now is screening upon hire, and access screening for particular companies, high profile, or high risk jobs, as well as drug and alcohol testing if an accident occurs. No more 'random' tests.

Does the bill as written allow for this? I have searched the bill; the word password doesn't appear, the word employer doesn't appear, the word personal doesn't appear.

Wolf! Wolf!

If I recall this case is before the AB courts or Labor Board?? union against- company for - Reason why regardless of where it is, the end result will be decided by the SCoC.

The SCoC has upheld the rights of Canadians to have private correspondences even in the workplace, last I heard. That includes e-mails, text messages, facebook accounts.
