ETUC briefing on new technologies allowing more surveillance at work

Since the COVID-19 outbreak, workers in many sectors (most of them female workers) have continued being physically present at the workplace, at the frontline, fighting the virus, such as in healthcare, cleaning industry and retail.

Europe is now entering a new phase of the fight against the pandemic, in which Governments are establishing gradual retake of work and the return to the workplace. The success of the EU exit strategy will largely depend on reaching agreements between the social partners on work organisation with a strong attention to occupational safety and health, for which the use of technology can be an effective tool if managed democratically.
