Technology and digital policy
Technology is rapidly transforming the world of work and impacting our lives. While technology has the potential to benefit workers, it poses a number of risks and issues that require urgent attention from policymakers.
TUAC engages with a range of OECD committees and working parties to ensure that OECD policy analysis and recommendations properly reflect and address the risks to workers arising from technology and promote the policy and regulatory frameworks needed to ensure a just and inclusive transition.
TUAC’s work on technology and digital policy is led by Sarah Jameson. For more information, please contact at jameson@tuac.org.
