A growing trend finds firms policing their workers' off-duty behavior, alarming employees and worker rights groups. Recent cases include a worker being fired for displaying a political bumper sticker on her car and a casino that claims the right to fire waitresses and servers for putting on too much weight. "The shock is that there's no legal protection," a spokesman for The National Workrights Institute said. USA TODAY
"It's a growing trend,"
"But whether or not they will go further to protect workers is an open question."
