Since the pandemic, the number of employers using monitoring devices has doubled which has led to the rise of "bossware," which is software that tracks all functions of one's computer. The use of technology for the surveillance of workers has been framed as essential to track employee productivity. However, it has also allowed employers to monitor workers' concerted protected activities, which is not within their legal rights. Labor advocates claim that workplace surveillance stifles labor organizing because it creates fear amongst pro-union workers. As a result, the NLRB plans to address business' ability to spy on their workers in cases where it interferes with the right to organize.
