NLRB Announces its Focus on Online Tracking Tools Used to Manage Remote Worker Performance [telecom]

Show all headers | View raw

A significant concern for managers of remote workers is the ability to
engage, manage and monitor performance and productivity – and some
healthcare employers have turned to technologies like tracking
employee keystrokes, capturing screenshots, and on-camera requirements
for employees during work hours.

This has caught the attention of the National Labor Relations Board’s
General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo, who recently issued a memorandum
seeking to broaden of the National Labor Relations Act (the “Act”) and
limit the electronic surveillance of employees.

    “An issue of particular concern to [her] is the potential for
    omnipresent surveillance and other algorithmic-management tools to
    interfere with the exercise of Section 7 rights by significantly
    impairing or negating employees’ ability to engage in protected
    activity and keep that activity confidential from their employer,
    if they so choose.” Memorandum GC 23-02, “Electronic Monitoring
    and Algorithmic Management of Employees Interfering with the
    Exercise of Section 7 Rights” (released Oct. 31, 2022).
