The woman was eventually terminated for her failure to


A woman was beaten by a coworker with whom she was living, resulting in several broken ribs. She filed charges against the coworker, and the coworker's conviction for domestic violence was reported in the newspaper. The woman did not report any of this information to her employer, Chapter 17: Privacy on the Job: Information, Monitoring, and Investigations 579 but managers became aware of the situation due to the newspaper account. A workplace violence team investigated, seeking to determine whether the coworker was dangerous and should be removed from the workplace. On four occasions, they attempted to interview the woman, asking questions regarding her relationship with the coworker, the domestic violence incident, and her physical and mental health. On each occa- sion, she became angry and left the interview, insisting that this was private information that she did not want to share. The woman was eventually terminated for her failure to cooperate with the workplace violence program. She sued. What should the court decide? Why? (Rowe v. Guardian Automotive Products, 2005 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 31296)
