Will employers have to inform trade unions about AI algorithms they use?

There is no fundamental objection to giving trade unions access to information about the operation of algorithms or AI systems. The issue is not the legislation’s aim but the poorly drafted clause. It relies on imprecise terms such as: ‘parameters, rules, instructions that influence decision-making and may affect ‘work and pay terms and conditions’. As nearly all employer decisions can indirectly impact those terms and conditions, this unclear wording increases the potential for disputes. Employers are likely to withhold data, claiming a decision was irrelevant or ‘did not affect terms and conditions of employment’. Conversely, trade unions will demand wider access to information, based on the algorithm’s potential to affect work and pay terms and conditions. – Łukasz Chruściel comments to Dziennik Gazeta Prawna.
