[CASL-L] surveillance cameras

[Teri Padua]

As cameras were being added all over the building, our finance director
asked be if I wanted any covering the 24 computers in the library.  I asked
to think about it and get back to him, only to discover when I came in the
following Monday that they had been installed.  There are two, and they
point from either end onto the 4 banks of computers.  I had the same
concern that you did about total coverage in here.  I was VERY upset, and
let the administration know that installing cameras in a teacher's work
space without their consent constituted a change in working conditions (I'm
also union president.)  They have been careful ever since.
