Employer Rights, Employee Privacy and Aids: Legal Implications To Hospitality Industry Managers

Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

This study looks at the employment issues of AIDS, employer rights, employee privacy rights and how those views relate to management's opinions on the discharge of and refusal to hire AIDS victims. The results indicate a strong understanding, on the part of one hospitality management group, of the legal constraints affecting their employment rights in the areas of collective bargaining, sex, race and religious discrimination, as well as a strong and positive correlation between such legal constraints and acknowledgement of an employee right to privacy in all areas with the exception of AIDS disclosure. The results suggest a continued misunderstanding of the disease and the inclination to view the AIDS victim as a threat to co-workers and the food operation itself.

Key Words: Key Words: Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) • Employer Rights • Employee Privacy • Food service.
