We’re launching our new report on sex work & platform labour on 15 May at 2 PM BST.

We spoke to workers using platforms like OnlyFans & Chaturbate—what we found was abuse, precarity & platform neglect.

From cleaners to couriers, babysitters to beauticians, millions of platform workers face insecure jobs, unpaid hours, no safety net, and higher risks of discrimination and violence — especially women.

The ILO now has a rare chance to set global rules for fair #PlatformWork.

Fair work is possible
Insecure or precarious work is not inevitable. It was created intentionally, by dismantling or circumventing employment law regulations

💭 Platform workers aren’t waiting for regulation, they’re organising.

Oğuz Alyanak (@UniofOxford) shows how workers use grassroots networks to build collective power.

📣 “Workers aren’t waiting for policy.”

I think what we're seeing in the #socialmedia, #Platformwork and #ai spaces today are still reeling with the consequences of the 2008 #financialcrisis

What the market learned was that to be really successful was not to turn in the most profit, but to exit the realm of needing to turn in a […]

Troubled by the worrying news from the Finnish government. Is Finland really opposing the directive on platform workers that would improve their uncertain situation? Voting is on Friday!
#platformwork #platformworkersdirective #finland
Does the Finnish government oppose improving the position of platform workers?
It is incomprehensible if the Finnish government does not acknowledge the challenges of platform work.
