Bossware Comes to California: New Worker Surveillance Report

Original: Bossware Comes to California: The Impact of New Management Technologies on Workers and the Case for Policy Regulation

The UC Berkeley Labor Center has published a report examining the spread of bossware — software that monitors and manages workers digitally — in California workplaces. The report analyzes how these management technologies affect workers' privacy, autonomy and working conditions, and argues that state policymakers should introduce regulations to protect employees from excessive digital surveillance.

Why now: Growing use of employee-monitoring software has raised public and policy concern about workplace privacy, prompting calls for regulation.
