My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: West Virginia
Exactly one week ago the mental health company I work for installed a new cell phone policy. The policy states that we must turn our phones in to the supervisor at the beginning of our shift and we will get it back at the end of the shift. Since every employee has a key to the lock box most of us decided that we will no longer bring our phones to work or just leave them in our vehicles which are not parked on company property.
Now the company is trying to say that they can not except are phones being in our vehicles or at home. If we do not hand it over then we are required to go to our vehicles and get them or clock out and go home and get them. If you refuse you are automatically terminated.
Lastly, because we do not feel comfortable with this new addition to the policy several of us have said we are going to talk to a lawyer simply to have the policy looked over and to see if there's anything wrong with it. Our supervisor heard wind of it and said that if we talk to a lawyer we will be terminated.
Further saying that the company has more money than us and will make sure we don't win if we tried to sue.
Is there any of this that is violating any of the laws?
