Strengthening Worker Voice and Organising in an Era of Uncertainty: Toward Better Platform Governance 

The emerging ecosystem of digitally mediated work is upending traditional employment models and altering employment relationships. In the Global South, where there is often an excess supply of labor, the abundance of gig workers can lead to lower wages and unfavorable working conditions. However, in this era of increased job insecurity, it becomes crucial to enhance worker representation and foster social dialogue. In this roundtable discussion, we will explore strategies to support social dialogue and collective action among the growing number of self-employed workers.

This event was conducted with M-Power, a US Department Labour Initiative.
