This searchable inventory documents how unions have addressed workplace technologies through collective bargaining. It includes provisions from more than 175 agreements, drawn from a review of over 500 contracts, and highlights a range of strategies, including securing rights and protections, shaping how technologies are introduced and used, and establishing governance mechanisms. Designed as an informational resource rather than a source of model language, the inventory offers insight into how unions are responding to emerging technologies through recent agreements, while also showing how long-standing provisions remain relevant in today’s rapidly evolving digital workplace.
