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

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.
