Please click on the above link and tell me what you think ?
Would you object if you employer wanted to implant a micro-in you ?
Should workers be protected from this sort of thing, or should employers be able to use this technology if they wish ?
What reasons can you think of that would justify allowing an employer to micro-chip their employees ?
Why isn't an ID badge, or fingerprint identification enough, why insist on implanting a chip in employees ? This would allow an employee to track their employees 24/7. Do they really have that right ?
What do you think of the 9 senators who voted against legislation that would prevent employers from doing this ?
The article only named one of the nine senators, I would be interested in finding out the names of the other eight.

Open Thoughts - I disagree about the ACLU. I think it is more likely that would be on the side of the employees and their right to privacy.

If my employer tried that, I would implant a foot in their ***!

Not only should they be banned. The military should be prohibited from doing it to our troops also. Anything the military does should not affect the soldier after they are out of the service. I am not a bible thumper, but I do know the bible warns of a mark of the beast. It is said that the day will come that people are required to take the mark of the beast to trade or buy or sell anything. Anyone who doesn't have it will be forced to starve, etc. However, the mark of the beast will be given after christs first coming, and anyone who takes it during the 7 year feast will live ok for a while, but will not go to heaven after the 7 year feast. Not trying to spasm out, but I can't believe this crap is being considered. When I was in the navy in boot camp, we walked down a line of corpseman that had air powered shots that they put in each arm. You just never know if they injected a tracker then. I remember I got four shots in one side and three in the other side. So it was two at once, two at once, two at once, and then one as we filed in a single line, in one door, shots, then out the other door.

Check your employment agreement / company policy and procedures. If it says they can fire you for discussing salary, they can. Employers like this system because they don't have people coming up to them saying "X makes this, I want this much money too" Employees who have less information on what the general salary is can't negotiate as well and may settle for a lower salary. I never heard of these extreme measures though... is your company facing a discrimination lawsuit? Or is someone trying to set up a union?

If something like this was to ever come to light, the whole country should shut down. A national strike, like they do in France. The country comes to a screeching halt. It gets everybody's attention.

My employer told me that after 25 years of working there I had to have some fruitloop watch me pee in a jar.
I told them that was fine, and that after the fruitloop signed off on the chain of custody form I was going th break his/her neck for violating my privacy.
I retired 10 years later, never did have to whiz for their perverted pleasure.
Micro chip? That is a form of assault.

1. ABSOLUTELY ABSURD!!!! I would NEVER consent to that...even if I was not self-employed.
2. Anyone who does is a fool.
3. As always, I expect the ACLU to come down on the wrong side of this and "protect" employer's rights to tag their employees.

This should NOT be illegal.
I'm not saying that everyone should get one but I'm saying that if a company wants to track consenting employees or if a parent wants to track their child the government should stay out of it.
The Company Does have a "RIGHT" to monitor the Employee 24/7 IF the Employee consents (they don't have to work for this company they can go somewhere else)
I can see why a company that develops high tech microchips would want to use this on their R&D Department (the example given in the article)
as for if I would accept the chip....It depends on how much I wanted to work for that employer.

This is crazy! What next? A # tatooed on your arm?
Let the President and Congress go first then ask the people.

No. That's ridiculous. Nobody needs to know where someone is 24/7.

Good way to start a civil war.
Any good American would burn down a business that wanted to do that sort of nazi thing.
Any politician who supports it should be jailed as a terrorist.
