PI together with Worker Info Exchange (WIE) and the App Drivers and Couriers Union (ADCU) are challenging the surveillance techniques deployed by some of the biggest companies in the gig economy sector.

Workers are facing unprecedented surveillance from their employers and the platforms they work for. Under the guise of productivity, efficiency and economic incentive, employers and platforms are deploying dehumanising and invasive surveillance tools.

That's why we are researching and taking action against workplace surveillance and algorithmic management.
