Abstract
This article analyses the impact of algorithmic human resource management on working conditions and their regulation through collective bargaining. Statistical analysis based on a Eurobarometer of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work shows that those working under algorithmic manage-ment experience greater work intensification, time pressure and constant surveillance, which increases the likelihood of stress and other psychosomatic pathologies. From a regulatory perspective, the study examines the collective bargaining response to these challenges. It finds that, despite the proposals of the Fifth Agreement on Employment and Collective Bargaining and the European Framework Agree-ment on Digitalisation, the incorporation of specific clauses in collective agreements remains insuffi-cient. However, collective bargaining and algorithmic co-management are crucial to ensuring effective protection against the negative effects of algorithmic human resource management.
