The Stop Spying Bosses Act would create much-needed standards, protections, and oversight to counter the spread of these powerful tools in the workplace.\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s long past time to meet the moment in this new age of surveillance and protect workers from bosses tracking their every move on the clock with powerful tools,\u201d said Congressman Deluzio. \u201cWorkers should have a workplace with respect and dignity\u2014not endless suspicion. I am proud to join with Rep. Bonamici to re-introduce the Stop Spying Bosses Act to protect workers\u2019 privacy, safety, and right to organize.\u201d\n\n\u201cWorkers should be confident their employers aren't abusing their rights through surveillance or backdoor data collection,\u201d said Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici. \u201cThe Stop Spying Bosses Act will improve workplace transparency by limiting what data employers can collect and requiring them to disclose any surveillance practices. Workers deserve dignity, not invasions into their personal data. I\u2019m pleased to partner with Congressman Deluzio and Senator Markey to introduce this important legislation.\u201d\n\nSpecifically, this bill would:\n\nRequire any employer collecting data on employees or applicants to disclose such information in a timely and public manner;\n\nProhibit employers from collecting sensitive data on individuals (i.e., off-duty data collection, data collection that interferes with organizing, etc.);\n\nCreate rules around the usage of automated decision systems to empower workers in employment decisions; and\n\nEstablish the Privacy and Technology Division at the Department of Labor to enforce and regulate workplace surveillance as novel technologies evolve and grow.\n\nThe Stop Spying Bosses Act is endorsed by ACLU, AFL-CIO, Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT), Communication Workers of America (CWA), Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), National Nurses United (NNU), National Employment Law Project (NELP), and Service Employees International Union (SEIU).\n\nThe full text of the bill is HERE. Senators Edward J. Markey (D-MA), Brian Schatz (D-HI), and Cory Booker (D-N.J.) reintroduced companion legislation in the Senate.\n\nCongressman Deluzio originally introduced the Stop Spying Bosses Act alongside Congresswoman Bonamici during the 118th Congress in 2024.", 1, "2026-06-27T21:44:12Z", "2026-06-27T22:11:26Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://bonamici.house.gov/media/press-releases/deluzio-bonamici-reintroduce-stop-spying-bosses-act-protect-workers-privacy"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8305259980261326, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
