Dear AoIR members, *Invitation - Global Manifesto for a Fairer Platform Work* In anticipation of the International Labour Organisation's Meeting of Experts on Decent Work in the Platform Economy <https://www.ilo.org/travail/eventsandmeetings/WCMS_852196/lang--en/index.htm> – being held in Geneva from 10 to 14 October – a 'Manifesto for Fairer Platform Work' to protect and ensure the rights of platform workers across the world will be launched. The document was developed by leading researchers from different countries and institutions involved in analysing the platform economy and its consequences on workers. Platform work is increasingly becoming a fundamental source of employment and income for workers worldwide. But too often, such work is precarious – with low standards or lack of rights and protection regarding payment, conditions, contracts, management and representation. The 'Manifesto for Fairer Platform Work' aims to urge the ILO to adopt a convention on platform work that caters to the specific and urgent needs of platform workers globally. The Manifesto argues that fair conditions for platform workers should be put in place to address this lack of rights and protection. It outlines the challenges posed by these new labor relations in crucial aspects, such as misclassification, low pay, health and safety risks, discrimination, non transparent algorithmic management, and lack of representation and collective bargaining. We invite researchers in the field of platform work and related topics to read and sign the Manifesto. The document can be accessed and signed at fair.work/manifesto. Please share this invitation with other researchers in your network. The manifesto will be launched in a virtual event <https://wzb-eu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_uN50v7bYTOG6VUBVpA2eGQ> on Friday, 7 October at 15.00 BST. We would also like to invite you to attend the event. And feel free to share this invitation with other people you believe could be interested in this discussion.
