Stop Spying Bosses Act

The Stop Spying Bosses Act (HR 7690) requires employers to disclose all workplace surveillance practices to employees, including what data is collected, how it's collected, where it's stored, and how it affects employment decisions. It prohibits employers from using surveillance to monitor union activities, health information, political views, off-duty activities, or to make employment decisions based on irrelevant personal characteristics. The bill establishes a new Privacy and Technology Division within the Department of Labor to enforce these rules, giving employees the right to request and correct their personal data collected through workplace surveillance. Employers face penalties for violations, including fines up to $50,000 per violation for retaliation against whistleblowers who report surveillance abuses.
