My Driver Facing Camera experience (thoughts, please)?

I hope you keep the forum updated. I'd like to see how this plays out.

 

Hey Nut...

As it turns out -- I cannot send you a PM, or otherwise access your profile page.

You might wanna have a talk about that with one of the Moderators.

Otherwise -- if you Google the above name, I think you'd get the same info (& more up-to-date, as well).

I’m definitely not an attorney but it could help to show a pattern imo.
To me it just looks like the company wants driver facing cameras in their trucks and wants the drivers to pay for them.. The $150 to keep your job is where I think they violated your employee rights..

My expertise is in Pool Boy stuff and beer tasting

Jk, sitting at home waiting for my truck to get fixed.

 

They didn’t suffer a loss but are trying to extract money from you. All depends on your state and what they allow.

 

I think you definitely made the right call by not backing down. I can't even see how they would get away with a "fine" of $150 to an employee. I've never heard of such a thing. What other types of "fines" are they imposing on their employees? So now they've lost a good driver and a dedicated employee over the reflection of your phone screen. Your replacement might not have either of those qualities.

 

“all cell phones “should” beOFF when driving the company vehicles.”

looks like a suggestion to me and not a demand

 

My focus isn't on the camera, there is a point that you made with that which is very valid.

However it is the point that if she is telling the whole truth (don't take that personal OP), and if she has a good driving record, the problem is a lack of following the norms of how policies are applied, they have to be equal and they have to be disclosed.

If they are not applied equally, and/or disclosed, then it is possible there is discrimination going on that is subtle on the company's part.

If this is true, file with YOUR state labor department and open up a case with the EEOC.
