These cards go a bit farther than an rfid card to swipe into the office...
The capabilities aren't even like RFID ( aka huffpo is wrong). These are triangulating workers positions real time throughout the day from what i am reading?

What kind of rfid id card has a panic button?

these things are basically black boxes for each employee to wear while they are working.

When I was in mining all equipment had tracking capabilities and cameras to record the faces of operators. If they looked away or closed their eyes for 3 seconds dispatch was notified and an alarm would go off in the cab. Great safety tool.

Forcing contractors to carry cards so their location can be tracked is a great idea. The mine is a pretty dangerous place. The last thing you need is some dude in a pickup getting lost and ending up in a bad situation. Also very beneficial for people working alone.

Not so great for the maintenance guy looking for a quiet place to sleep through the night shift.

Yup this is nothing but a good idea.

When I drove/flow around Canada for work as an aerial navigator/surveyor, I was one of the only employees who voluntarily carried a SPOT GPS tracking system that was enabled in real-time. Everyone else seemed to be (unrealistically) averse to this.

Another step toward turning a person into a consumable.

Cause those people are wasting company time doing stupid shit and know it and know they would get canned because of it.

Get every single city employee one of these.

if the city rolled this out they would find a way for each card to cost 50 grand

and be annually disposable.

Not shocked unions are upset about it, it doesn't give them a monetary benefit.

This isn't a bad thing. It keeps people out of areas they aren't authorized for and makes it easy to locate people in an emergency since the sign in/out books aren't foolproof.

Strange how some of you put up resistance to this, however want police to have cameras rolling 24/7 and everything tracked...whats the difference?

[FraserB]

So long as its someone else being “inconvenienced”, people don't care.

Its not like there is going to be sitting at a screen watching every little dot. It would probably be a geo-fence concept with certain areas accessible by specific tags.
