Okay to watch porn during lunch: Court
Watching pornography at work during your lunch break is not a sackable offence, Italy's highest court has ruled. The Supreme Court in Rome rejected the judgment of a lower court which had sanctioned the decision by Fiat, the car manufacturer, to sack a factory worker who was caught watching pornographic films on his personal computer during a break in his shift.The employee, identified in court documents only as Giuseppe Z, was caught watching a hardcore DVD on his laptop at a Fiat factory in Termini Imerese in Sicily in 2008.A search of his locker revealed two other pornographic DVDs.The Supreme Court ruled that the worker was free to do what he wanted on his lunch break and should not have been fired.Judges in Rome said that "Z" had enjoyed "just a glimpse of the film during a meal break" and that it had not interfered with his shift. ..
