Computer in command

76% of workers within sectors like warehousing and telemarketing experience one or more forms of Algorithmic Management (AM) in the workplace. They report having less autonomy in their jobs, a greater workload, feeling more stressed, and greater concern among employees about their job security.

These are the findings from the transnational survey Computer in command: Consequences of algorithmic management for workers conducted by FEPS and Nordic think tanks among over 6,000 union members in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland. This study is the first of its kind to systematically examine the consequences of AM.

At this event, organised together with the EESC’s Workers’ Group, we will present the conclusions of all research strands of the FEPS-Nordic Digital Programme.

Among the speakers:

• Nicholas Schmit, Commissioner-designate, current Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights
• Brando Benefei, Socialist and Democrats MEP
• Isabelle Schömann, Deputy General Secretary, ETUC
• and many more!

The event will be live-streamed through the EESC’s website.
