NLRB General Counsel memo on electronic monitoring (rescinded) (NLRB Memorandum GC 23-02 (October 31, 2022), rescinded by GC 25-05 (February 14, 2025))
The 2022 General Counsel signalled enforcement against monitoring that chills protected concerted activity; the memo was rescinded on 14 February 2025, so it is history, not current enforcement policy. Section 7 itself is unchanged, so a programme that sweeps staff chat about pay, conditions or organising into a licensed corpus still carries labour-law risk.

In the source's own words
“Thus, I plan to urge the Board to apply the Act to protect employees, to the greatest extent possible, from intrusive or abusive electronic monitoring and automated management practices that would have a tendency to interfere with Section 7 rights.”
