HourVoice: A Workplace Transparency Platform
Channel: Chi Hack Night
Date: 2016-06-09

Workplace monitoring, just-in-time scheduling and other technologies are making life more difficult for low-wage workers. HourVoice attempts to counteract this and other negative trends through crowdsourced transparency, rights education and data analysis. It should create opportunities for labor unions, plaintiff attorneys and enforcement agencies.

Don Chartier from HourVoice and Ryan Fischer from 20spokes development agency will discuss the motivations, aspirations and implementation of the HourVoice Worker App, plus their plans for HourVoice’s analytics capability.
