WeClock
the app for workers by workers
WeClock offers a privacy-preserving way to empower workers and unions in their battle for decent work.
WeClock gives an indication of the present and changing nature of work by providing insight
about the: presence or absence of decent or fair work, working conditions, or work/life balance. Built with workers in mind, WeClock empowers change.

Lighthouse
Online Tool for Good Data Governance
Given that WeClock will be a data-gathering tool for unions, we decided to work with a UK union Prospect, along with Digital Public and Small Scale, to develop Lighthouse – an online, privacy-preserving tool to help unions become stewards of good data governance.
Lighthouse takes the form of an online guide - or quiz - where those participating get to rate their methods and practices along a range of topics.
