Hello, the title sums it up pretty much but here's some details. I live in the US and I have been working for a pretty big company for a few years. I noticed recently that they have put up Flock cameras at all entrances and I really object to it. I would consider a new job but three main factors are really preventing me from doing that. First, I like many of my coworkers and it makes my day easier. Second, I get paid well enough. Third, the job is nearby and its an easy commute. Essentially all the things I want in a job.

What I have done so far: I have contacted my union rep. The response from the union was essentially indifference to the idea. They claim Flock simply sends the data to our normal security team. They did mention that it was discussed recently otherwise. Last note, I work for a place where vandalism would not be possible due to the nature of the facility.

I'm not really sure what else to do but I didn't want to do nothing. What would you do?

But their employer put them up at his workplace, so it would protect them in this case. Unless his Union consented on his behalf.

The protection from government is voting. After years of fighting them our community finally canceled its flock contract.
