New Technology & Green Clauses in Collective Bargaining Agreements
How collective agreements can ensure that changes are introduced in a fair, transparent, and sustainable way
New technologies are changing the way companies work. Digitalisation, artificial intelligence, algorithmic management, and green transition policies are creating new opportunities, but they also raise new challenges for workers and employers. Collective bargaining can help ensure that these changes are introduced in a fair, transparent, and sustainable way.
This support paper presents practical examples of clauses from the WageIndicator CBA Database. It highlights good practices from different countries and sectors on topics such as environmental management, environmental representatives, monitoring the impact of new technologies, algorithmic management, transparency, workers' digital rights, the use of technology to improve health and safety, and training for employees when new technologies are introduced.
This publication is intended for trade unions, employers, negotiators, policymakers, and anyone interested in developing modern collective bargaining agreements that support both technological innovation and environmental sustainability in the workplace.
