Can my employer hassle me about my driving with a clean driving record?
At my job, I drive a company owned vehicle and have worked there for 10 years now and have always maintained a clean driving record with no tickets or accidents in that 10 years. However, ever since they installed these safe driver devices they continue to harrass and threaten us about speeding even though we all have clean driving records. They threaten to write up all of us soley based on those devices that sometimes malfunction. Is this legal or do we all have a case seeing how we all have clean driving records?

Do you have an employment contract or union agreement that prohibits this action? Does it constitute some form of legally actionable discrimination? If not, then you have no claim here. The fact is that most work relationships are "at will". This means that your company can set the conditions of employment much as it sees fit.
