"Workplace Surveillance ‘Is’ Unethical and Unfair"

by Introna, Lucas D (2003)

Abstract

This piece argues that workplace surveillance is unethical and unfair using the work of Emmanuel Levinas. Such a move is indeed necessary for the possibility of ethics to happen when we monitor and surveil, rather than merely being considered when we talk about, or judge, monitoring and surveillance practices.
