It seems that a teleoperator in Valladolid was fired from her company for disciplinary reasons, after her boss monitored her screen, and realized that she was consulting and participating in internet forums during her working hours.
Following these events, the company argued her dismissal with very generic justifications, saying that she transgressed contractual good faith, and that therefore her productivity decreased continuously and voluntarily, since this way she could avoid problems.
However, the affected worker went to court to try to obtain the nullity of her dismissal, claiming that they had violated her right to privacy with the monitoring of her screen, but after the assessments, both the Social Court and the Superior Court of Justice of Valladolid have considered that the use of the software to control the teleoperator's activity was appropriate.
Since, as stipulated by the Law, the company, before installing this monitoring software on the worker's device, informed her of all the details of its operation, and obtained her express consent to use it, therefore the court considers that it was used without infringing her right to privacy.
