- 1. Microsoft Dynamics 365 called out for ‘worker surveillance’
Insight Microsoft Dynamics 365 provides "field service management" that allows customers to monitor mobile service workers through smartphone apps – allegedly to the detriment of their autonomy and dignity.
According to a probe by Cracked Labs - an Austrian nonprofit research group – the software is part of a broader set of applications that disempowers workers through algorithmic management.
The case study [PDF] summarizes how employers in Europe actually use software and smartphone apps to oversee field technicians, home workers, and cleaning staff.
It's part of a larger ongoing project helmed by the group called “Surveillance and Digital Control at Work," which includes contributions from AlgorithmWatch; Jeremias Adams-Prassl, professor of law at the University of Oxford; and trade unions UNI Europa and GPA.
