Could your boss be an app? Since 2018 we’ve seen a rise in the use of tech to manage the world’s labor force. Coworker.org’s Bossware and Employment Tech database compiles more than 550 labor-focused technology products that are changing our relationship to work.
Little Tech Is Coming for Workers, an accompanying report, seeks to address the proliferation of these technologies and analyzes the ways they’re harming workers, labor standards, and the economy.
In the database you’ll find companies — and their products and investors — that touch every part of the labor process, from hiring to productivity monitoring and more. Organized by category, type, and date founded, the database covers products that use technology like AI, location tracking, and biometrics to manage employees and collect their data — often without their knowledge.
