AL - A former city landscaping department superintendent who was fired for allegedly sleeping on the job, among other things, is suing the City of Huntsville, claiming the city violated his privacy by spying on him at work.
Jeff Rich, an attorney with the Huntsville office of the law firm Sirote & Permutt, filed the lawsuit Monday in U.S. District Court for Larry M. Bevil, a city employee for 32 years. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.
Bevil's lawsuit alleges the city intruded on his privacy and violated his rights through constant audio and video surveillance of activities in his office. He also said the city breached the employment contract with him by firing him, and not allowing him to resign. (more) (filing)
