Different states and different countries all have specific rules and restrictions regarding the recording or monitoring of people. This answer cannot be considered to be accurate in your jurisdiction.

Generally it is legal to make audio or video recordings of people, with or without their consent. This will normally be the case as long as it is done from outside their property and without harassing or impeding people. The same is normally the case whether or not the other party is aware of the taping. Be aware that harassment is interpreted very differently in different jurisdictions.

The use to which the material can be put is normally more restricted. It is normal to require permission from the subjects before it can be published. Restrictions apply to the use in criminal or civil legal proceedings as well.

If you taped your firing that was illegal and union and management were wrong is it legal to use the tape in court?

It depends on your state. States have different laws concerning audio and video taping. In some states, there has to be two-party consent for any audio or video taping. In others, one-party consent is okay for video taping but not audio taping. You can find state specific laws by searching the web or by calling your state attorney's office. Good luck. Although the taping may be legal there is no guarantee it would be allowed as evidence. The final decision on such issues always belongs to the presiding judge in accordance with how he or she interprets and applies the established rules of evidence in conjunction with state and/or federal law.
