There is the Big Brother - Workplace Control and Workforce Surveillance
2007-07-30 20:54:00 Lee, Ji-young, President Labor News Production www.lnp89.org Presented at April 28, 2007 Labor's Voices 2007 Conference New York www.laborsvoices.org Source: laborfest.net George Orwell?s SF novel is not scientific fiction any longer.

With the development of the high-tech industry, the surveillance costs less and less, is easier to use than before, and the surveillance is implemented in a covert way. The capitalists introduced a variety of surveillance system, without the knowledge of workers or against their will, on the pretext that the system will protect workers. However, the real intrusion is simple: to control the workers.

Careful: The FB-eye may be watching
2007-07-23 04:04:00 Reading the wrong thing in public can get you in trouble BY MARC SCHULTZ Published 07.17.03 Source: atlanta.creativeloafing.com "The FBI is here,"Mom tells me over the phone. Immediately I can see my mom with her back to a couple of Matrix-like figures in black suits and opaque sunglasses, her hand covering the mouthpiece like Grace Kelly in Dial M for Murder. This must be a joke, I think. But it's not, because Mom isn't that funny. "The who?" I say. "Two FBI agents. They say you're not in trouble, they just want to talk. They want to come to the store." I work in a small, independent bookstore, and since it's a slow Tuesday afternoon, I figure, "Sure." Someone I know must have gotten some government work, I think; hadn't my consultant friend spoken recently of getting rolled onto some government job? Background check, I think, interviewing acquaintances ... No big deal, right? Then, of course, I make a big deal about it in front of my co-workers. Bookmark/Search this post with...
