The UTAW Tech Workers' Inquiry 2026 report reveals how generative AI is reshaping tech work from a worker perspective, with participants describing it as largely a negative force that increases output expectations, expands monitoring, degrades expertise, and shifts accountability to employees. The report argues that core workplace issues stem not from technical limitations of AI models but from how employers deploy and control them, and calls for enforceable rights over AI use in the workplace.
Background
The Unitech, IT and Allied Workers (UTAW) is a UK trade union representing tech sector workers. This inquiry builds on their ongoing efforts to understand and advocate for workers' rights in the age of AI.
