The TUC exists to make the working world a better place for everyone. We bring together more than 5.5 million working people who make up our 51 member unions. When a group of workers act and speak together, their employer has to listen. That’s how unions make things better at work. ref

- Aug.17.2018: Most staffers expect bosses to snoop on them, say unions. The TUC is lobbying to gain a legal right to be consulted on surveillance in the workplace, as it opened up on staffers’ growing concerns about their bosses snooping on them. A number of respondees also pointed to newer techniques, such as facial recognition (15 per cent) and location tracking – 40% said the company tracked assets like phones and about 21% said they used handheld or wearable location-tracking devices. Just over 20% said it was likely their work used computer webcams for snooping, and 26% thought they used keystroke logging software. And about 33% thought that their social media use outside of work was monitored – which almost 70% of respondents said was unacceptable. But the least palatable type of surveillance was facial recognition software, which 76% said was unacceptable. Rebecca Hill, The Register.
