Submission + - City of Antwerp looking to track worker's location through tablets (demorgen.be)
lhuiz writes: Using a tablet handed to you by your employer much? If you are, it might be used against you some day. Belgian daily newspaper De Morgen reports that the City of Antwerp is planning to monitor the location of their workers through the tablets they have handed out. That way, they can determine if nobody is sneaking down to the pub when they should be behind their desks. The monitoring might already have been used in ongoing court cases against personel. A City of Antwerp spokesperson claims they are very concerned with the privacy of their workers, but want to go ahead anyway. Weirdly, some people, e.g. the trade union, seem to be less than enthousiastic. Text in Dutch.
