Opening and stealing employees mail??!!
I was just informed that a fellow employee was going through the company mail and found a letter that was addressed to me and he opened it. Showed it around to fellow employees and then kept the letter! I just found out about this. This happened 2 weeks ago! We are a Christian based company and we had an employee that was out on work release. He was 20 yrs old and was addicted to heroin. I became a pen pal to him when he went back to jail in hopes of keeping his spirits up and just hoping to be a mentor which is what our company is about. Well I found out that someone saw a letter to me from the inmate and opened it, read it, showed it to fellow co-workers and then KEPT it!! Can this be legal at all?

That being said, what you describe is a violation of the law. You should speak to the offending employee - don't ask if he did what you heard, just say "I understand you have a letter addressed to me from [name]; please give it to me." If he won't, speak to your employer directly (if he does, you may still want to do so).
