CVS forces workers to reveal private health data

When you see stories like this, you can probably understand why my faith in the system is just about nil. I'm a swell guy, but my patience ended decades ago.

CVS Pharmacy - America's largest drugstore chain - has a new policy that menaces all 200,000 employees. Workers must now submit their private health data such as their body fat level - or pay a $50 fine each month.

There's no way in hell this is legal. Medical data is supposed to be confidential. It's between you and your doctor - not between you and your boss.

I know this is a dumb question, but it must be asked: Do CVS employees have a union? If they had one, they might be able to halt the pharmacy chain's snooping. Without a union, they're probably out of luck.
