ALGORITHMIC MANAGEMENT: Awareness, Risks and Response of the Social Partners / Final report

Algorithmic management tools
are used in recruitment, surveillance
and daily decision-making
of workers’ lives. One-third
out of 1395 respondents are
aware that such tools are used
at their workplace, one-third
believe that this is not the case
and the remainder do not know
anything about such tools.
•
Workers state that trade unions
have raised ethical issues and
discussed automatic surveillance
with the employer. One-third,
however, have not perceived
any trade union activity and
workers are calling for more action
to increase the transparency
of algorithmic management.
•
Despite the fact that collective
bargaining targeting algorithmic
management is rare, several
examples of collective agreements
and arrangements
are already in place and
worth examining
more closely.
