The young workers took action after participating in a workshop, supported by the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, in which they agreed on a resolution document pledging to support the struggle by digital platform workers for better work place rights.  

The workshop also looked at how to increase young worker participation in unions and build organising capacity.  

They also discussed the fourth industrial revolution, new organising tools and changes to labour law in the region.
