Post: looking at someones opened mail but still in envelope

Posted by Mitch on 1/02/09

Recently I had a piece of mail that was sitting in my mail
slot at work. The envelope was unsealed but the contents
still inside and the envelope was closed ( it still had a
little sticky stuff left on it). My question is , is it
still mail tampering for someone to go into it and look at
it. The person in question was trying to get me in trouble
because he thought the contents of the envelope (they were
tickets to a hockey game given to me by a friend) were
given to me as gratuity. He actually photo copied the
tickets and filed a complaint against me to my employer.
What is the law concerning mail that is unsealed but
obviously not yours?
