Parliament adopted a resolution calling on the Commission to propose a directive on digitalisation, artificial intelligence and algorithmic management in the workplace. The proposed directive would set rules on transparency, consultation and human oversight, and would apply to workers and solo self-employed persons. It would ban monitoring of emotional states or private behaviour and require human review of key decisions such as hiring, termination and pay changes.

positions recorded
One day of voting in plenary. Each subject is a report, resolution, agreement or objection; they are grouped by kind of decision, and each group says what “adopted” means there.
The ballots
Members vote on amendments and on parts of the text first, then on the text as a whole. That final, decisive vote is the result shown at the top of each subject.
Who voted how
Only roll-call votes record each Member’s vote — open one for every name and the breakdown by group. A show of hands records the outcome only.
Document & procedure
Each subject rests on a document (a committee report, a motion, a Council or Commission text) and belongs to a procedure, the whole file that can span years.
Group badges
How most of a group voted: ✓ For · ✗ Against · – Abstained · ~ Split (no majority).
