In an interview with Law360, Steve Bernstein discusses the development of new tools aimed at monitoring and tracking worker productivity. Some attorneys and union activists believe the tools raise many issues in the collective bargaining context and raise privacy concerns when the systems come into workers’ homes.
Steve explains that employers with “unionized workforces will likely have an obligation to bargain before implementing productivity monitoring tools that could lead to discipline. Employers must proactively explain to workers why they want to implement the technology and how they intend to use it.”
