EESC: Computer in Command: do the consequences of Algorithmic Management for Workers require EU policy action?

16 October 2024

Joint policy conference of the EESC Workers’ Group and FEPS

16/10/2024

Rue Belliard 99/101, 1040 Brussels, Brussels

AI is affecting the world of work in many ways and becoming a prominent feature in many people’s jobs.  

To understand the challenges in terms of job quality, employment, working conditions, health and safety, as well as concerns regarding the strong potential for worker surveillance, the EESC’s Workers’ Group and FEPS jointly is organising a conference entitled “Computer in Command: Do the Consequences of Algorithmic Management for Workers Require EU Policy Action?” on 16 October from 14.30 to 18.30.

This conference will examine 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.

Another objective of this conference is to discuss the current EU legal provisions already relevant to the use of AI in the workplace and to serve as a platform for trade unions to discuss AI’s transformative power. More concretely, we will strive to identify critical areas necessitating the need to rethink how AI is applied, what actions can trade unions take and what legislative intervention is needed, based on the ongoing discussions on the Workers’ Group own initiative opinion “For a pro-worker artificial intelligence: trade unions’ role in preventing and minimising the negative impacts on the world of work”.

Among the speakers:

Nicholas Schmit, Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights
Brando Benefei, Socialist and Democrats MEP
Lucie Studničná, President of the EESC Workers’ Group
László Andor, Secretary General of FEPS
Isabelle Schömann, Deputy General Secretary, ETUC

and many more!
