Despite the growing interest in privacy rights, the courts are moving cautiously in this area. They seem reluctant to give protection to activities that historically has been the purview of employers. Even where legislation has been passed to protect privacy rights, the courts generally have given it a narrow interpretation. Certainly, employers have the right and the responsibility to take action where private conduct affects work. But who we choose to sleep with, and how we decide to spend our personal time, should not be interfered with by our employers.
