More Corporate Spying

Another company has been caught spying on its employees. This time its airbus, who were monitoring staff bank accounts.

Just how common is this behaviour? Can we rely on our media to inform us? In this case the revelations emerged as a result of new management coming in and auditing the company. The former journalist David Simon who had such success writing about corruption in the modern American city in The Wire has warned that the slow death of newspapers spells great opportunities for corrupt public officials in the next 10-15 years. Could it also be a golden era for corporate spying?
