You've Got to Fight for Your Right to Disconnect - DTNS 4010
Season 7, Ep. 4010
•
The UK union Prospect, which represents scientists, engineers and tech workers is lobbying the government to create a “right to disconnect.” The law would not stipulate when companies could communicate with workers but require that companies negotiate with staff on rules about when and when not you can be contacted for work purposes. Will it succeed and should the policy be copied elsewhere?
Starring Tom Merritt, Sarah Lane, Justin Robert Young, Roger Chang, Joe.
