Platform workers have made their demands clear.
These are the eleven pillars:
Too many platform workers fall through legal gaps. Every worker deserves rights.
We demand: A binding ILO Convention that sets enforceable standards for all platform workers — regardless of employment status.
Protections must reach beyond delivery and ride-hail. Millions work online or in informal app-based roles and are left out.
We demand: A Convention that includes every kind of platform work — in-person or online — and protects all workers.
Platforms misclassify workers as 'independent contractors' to deny them rights and dodge their responsibilities. But the nature of the work tells the real story.
We demand: A Convention that recognises workers based on what they do, not what the platform calls them — and ends misclassification once and for all.
Platform workers are routinely denied basic rights: to unionise, to access toilets, to speak up about abuse.
We demand: Full access to all workplace rights — freedom of association, safe and decent working conditions, and protection from violence and harassment.
Workers are managed by algorithms – rated, ranked, and punished without knowing why.
We demand: Transparency, consultation, and bargaining rights before algorithms are deployed.
Too many workers earn less than minimum wage once costs like fuel and repairs are factored in – and waiting time is unpaid.
We demand: A living wage for all platform workers – including full recognition and pay for all working time, especially waiting time.
Platform workers are excluded from basic protections — no health coverage, no sick leave, no pensions.
We demand: Universal social protection for all platform workers - so transport platform workers have support when it’s needed most.
Platforms collect massive amounts of personal data — but workers have no say in how it’s used.
We demand: Full data rights – including access, correction, portability of personal data, and protection from misuse or profiling.
Workers are fired by apps without reason, warning, or appeal. Their livelihood can disappear in a click.
We demand: A ban on unfair deactivations — with written explanations, human review, and access to appeal.
Contracts are often missing, unclear, or changed without notice.
We demand: Mandatory, written contracts with clear terms for all platform workers – no more hidden rules or shifting conditions.
Even when laws exist, they’re rarely enforced. Platforms get away with breaking the rules, while workers suffer.
We demand: Robust enforcement – including labour inspections, access to justice, and dispute resolution for all platform workers.
