We all had to read and sign the operators non disclosure stuff, and it definately handled cases like his. It was immediate grounds for dismissal. It was spelled out in clear terms. Accessing records without cause, disclosure of records of calling patterns to any third parties, or disclosure of phone calls was not only against rules, it was illegal and we could be procusuted, and a reference to the appropriate statue for my state was stapled to the booklet. Whether he gets ignored, a repriamand or canned depends on AT&T, after all he is not in LD department is he? But that anyone can access the records is a bit much. Perhaps AT&T does need to do some re-thinking re security. Sydney S. Weinstein, CDP, CCP Elm Coordinator Datacomp Systems, Inc. Voice: (215) 947-9900 syd@DSI.COM or dsinc!syd FAX: (215) 938-0235
