> presume to be able to use company equipment

I think this is the central point. You can do all those things, but are you entitled to use company equipment to do so?

The term spying becomes less clear-cut in that context too. It's spying if I get your personal private communication, but monitoring one's own internal network would not normally be considered spying.

Looks like I’m out of date as of December after Caesars https://www.google.com/amp/s/onezero.medium.com/amp/p/8d5d92...

The other prong of this that is still possibly illegal though is spying on union-specific activity, and leaving that information out for employees to find, which fits under the criteria of making employees believe they’ll be spied on for unionizing - even not on company IT systems.

There’s already an NLRA complaint against amazon (source: Matt Bruenig on Twitter) over the Union-spy job posting. It’ll be interesting to see where that goes and if this gets tacked on.
