*Illustrative imageTechnology and the Balance of Power Between Workers and Employers
When surveillance technology or the way work is divided changes, the balance of power between employers and workers changes too. The lab analyzes technologies for monitoring workers and labor-management conflict through theory, and also gauges the strength of economic power from wage data.
