The University of Technology Sydney (UTS)'s Human Technology Institute (HTI) has just released a new report that calls on the Government to update the Fair Work Act to protect workers against harmful tech-enabled surveillance, and to give employers clarity about what is reasonable monitoring of workers for safety and other legitimate reasons.
Released in October, the report, titled Drawing the line was authored by Sophie Farthing, Sarah Sacher, Professor Edward Santow and Angus Vos.
Sarah Sacher, Senior Responsible Technology Policy Specialist at HTI, has said: “Right now, employers typically rely on workers ‘consenting’ to being monitored when they sign their employment contract. But we all know that’s not real consent. If you need the job, you’re in no place to debate what is reasonable monitoring with your prospective employer.
