EP02 (EN) - UBER, DELIVEROO, AND YOU!  

Think platform work doesn't affect you? Think again. The conditions being normalised in the gig economy are spreading to every sector. This fight is bigger than any one app or industry.In this episode of Collective Voices, we ask Monica Tepfer, legal officer at the ITUC, to break down one of the biggest labour rights battles happening right now.In June 2026, the International Labour Organization (ILO) will vote on whether to adopt the first-ever binding global standards for platform workers, covering everything from algorithmic transparency and misclassification to gender-based violence and the right to organise. It could be a turning point. This episode covers:→ How platform companies built a business model around avoiding labour law→ Why "flexibility" is a myth designed to strip away rights→ The gender pay gap and harassment crisis hidden inside gig work→ What a strong ILO convention would actually look like→ What you can do right now, whether you're a platform worker or not📄 Read the ITUC Factsheets on the myths and realities of platform work – and get the campaign toolkit to help challenge the narrative: https://www.ituc-csi.org/campaign-toolkit-platform-convention Listen, share, and keep fighting for a world where everyone has the right to decent work.Audio excerpts courtesy of the International Transport Workers’ Federation.
