"The Labor Spy"

"The Labor Spy" refers to an individual or organization that secretly monitors and gathers information about workers, labor activities, or unions, often without their knowledge or consent. This surveillance aims to uncover union organizing efforts, strike plans, or labor disputes, typically to undermine collective bargaining or weaken collective worker power. Historically associated with employer efforts to control or suppress labor movements, the term highlights issues of privacy and workers' rights, emphasizing the ethical concerns around covert monitoring and its impact on fair workplace practices.
