The Modern Workplace

This week produced more evidence that technology pervades every aspect of our lives, from our work, to our health, to our dreams? That's right, there's an App for that. But don't lose heart just yet, because this week also saw some pushback against the tech-takeover. In the working world, two Nashville men set out to prove that even television shows have to follow the law in hiring cast members. These men are suing ABC for race discrimination, stating that in the 10 years and 23 combined seasons of "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" there has never been a person of color in the central role. In Portland, a man stripped down all the way to the buff to protest airport screening technology. Officials slapped him with an indecent exposure charge, but he's claiming his conduct is protected by the First Amendment.
