The Wall Street Journal reported that a Wal-Mart Stores employee was fired for recording phone calls with a New York Times reporter last month. And now, the man claims he was part of a more elaborate corporate espionage scheme. Labor and privacy experts joined “Street Signs” to analyze the case.
David Garland, co-chair of the employment and labor group at Sills Cummis, explained to CNBC's Erin Burnett that at times, employees will go too far when snooping for the company: “They’re in a position to look through e-mails, they’re in a position to look through surveillance video and they may have a police background or any other background that may take them further than the company wants.”
