The five positions

anchors carry the meaning, the scale cannot drift as discourse drifts
1

No: tools of management are management's; unions bargain wages, not software.

2

Disclosure duty: the firm must explain the system's rules and changes; negotiation is not required.

3

Consultation duty: representatives are heard before major changes; the firm decides.

4

Co-determination on parameters: thresholds, quotas, and monitoring settings need joint sign-off.

5

Full co-determination: no workplace algorithm deploys or changes without workforce agreement.
