Company installing driver cams. Now what?

Tell them bye bye

 

They are not legal in Canada. You have a choice. Run for them and put up with it, or file with the federal labour board and be prepared to be let go once they get notified.

 

Or get one of those Space Alien face masks put it in front of camera

 

I would go back to work with the new camera, see how it changes your work environment.
I wouldn't buy a truck to keep a job?
Go work for a friend. Make sure you have guidelines on paper for all contingencies or you won't be friends much longer.

Being a business/truck owner is a different mindset from being a driver. Only buy a truck if that is what you want to do. Don't get forced into a purchase. Unless you have the operating cash in reserve, it might be a struggle waiting to receive the load pay.
Good luck.

 

Put a piece of tape on it. I did with a carrier I was leased onto 2 years ago. Their contract didn't state cameras were 'Driver Face camera' in the Agreement. Privacy in Canada superceded that. Driver-Facing Cameras: Canadian Court Rules Against Invasion of Privacy - TruckersReport.com

 

Or a weekend at Bernie’s mask. You all know who I’m talking about.

 

Did you read the part where the article said the ruling applied ONLY to one group of drivers at ONE company ?

Agreed, and O/Os can be forced to operature cameras too

 

That ruling was 12 years ago in Quebec.Many large Canadian companies use driver facing camera's now in order to receive better insurance rates.
