Caffarelli & Associates Ltd. Right to Privacy Case Featured in the Chicago Sun Times
This past month, Caffarelli & Associates Ltd. filed a lawsuit in Cook County Circuit Court on behalf of Matt Eberhardt, a former sales manager for Windy City Limousine Company, a west suburban limousine company. Eberhardt claims he was fired after refusing to show the company’s owner private information contained in his Facebook and LinkedIn accounts. The lawsuit is brought under the Illinois Whistleblower Act, due to the fact that Eberhardt refused to comply with an unlawful request, which would have constituted a violation of the Right to Privacy in the Workplace Act. The Privacy Act was signed by former governor Pat Quinn in 2012. Caffarelli & Associates Ltd. is proud to represent plaintiffs in all areas of employment law.
