Walmart sued over bathroom surveillance camera!
EASTON, Pennsylvania - December 28, 2009 - Seven former and current Walmart employees are suing the retail giant after one of its Pennsylvania stores installed a surveillance camera in a unisex bathroom used by employees and customers, according to ABC News.
The camera was allegedly installed by two employees in the company’s loss-prevention department, with the aim of monitoring employees for theft.
They installed the device in a bathroom dressing room in the Tire and Lube center of a Walmart Supercenter in Easton, Pennsylvania. Workers discovered the camera in March 2008. It’s not known how long the camera was recording activity in the bathroom before it was found.
Walmart fired two employees who were responsible for installing the camera, according to a statement it provided ABC News. The suit also names four local Walmart managers.
The attorney representing the plaintiffs says three of the employees were dismissed from their jobs after complaining about the camera.
