In recent years, the ‘technological question’ (typically posed in terms of the impact of new technologies on the future of work) enjoys a dominant presence in framing current policy and academic debates in labour law. Labour law scholarship has generally rejected a narrow econometric quantitative focus on the (anticipated and actual) net effect of new technologies on jobs. Instead, there is an emergent critical-contextual strand seeking to embed (and partially decentre) the technological discourse on established themes around precariousness, control, and human agency. This chapter aims to contribute to this literature by examining the dynamic relationship between UK labour law and what is herein termed ‘technological authoritarianism at work’.
