The National Labor Relations Board’s General Counsel recently stated her intention to target employers’ use of electronic monitoring technology and other surveillance equipment as a violation of the National Labor Relations Act. In GC Memorandum 23-02, General Counsel Jennifer A. Abruzzo stated that she would “urge the Board to apply the Act to protect employees, to the greatest extent possible, from intrusive and abusive electronic monitoring and automated management practices that would have a tendency to interfere with Section 7 rights.”
