An action-research project that certifies best employment practices in the gig economy
About us
Fairwork is committed to highlighting best and worst practices in the emerging platform economy. We are currently working in 40 countries around the world. Platform work (or 'gig work') provides essential income and opportunities to many. However, lacking protection from employment law or collective bodies, many platform workers face low pay, precarity, and poor and dangerous working conditions. In a partnership with the ILO, and drawing on the expertise of staff at the University of Oxford, the University of Cape Town, IIITB, the Technical University of Berlin, the University of Manchester, the University of the Western Cape, and WZB, we work to design principles of fairness in working conditions on digital labour platforms. We have five fairwork principles: 1. Fair Pay 2. Fair Conditions 3. Fair Contracts 4. Fair Management 5. Fair Representation We translate our principles into measurable context-relevant thresholds, conduct rigorous research to evaluate digital work platforms against those thresholds, and publish our results in a transparent manner.

Fairwork reposted this
You've probably heard a lot about AI, but here's something you might not know. OII Professor Mark Graham discusses the gruelling manual labour and psychologically harmful conditions faced by millions of workers around the globe that power the seamless AI systems we see on our screens. “By using AI in our everyday lives, we are connected to these people, and therefore have an ethical responsibility for their wellbeing,” he says. His new book, “Feeding the Machine: The Hidden Human Labour Powering AI” is out now: https://lnkd.in/eHUghD98

What a treat! 🍭 Yesterday Fairwork's coordinating team - usually based between the UK and Germany - gathered at the Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford for a wonderfully productive and inspiring Away Day. There are many great things about being a geographically dispersed team, but being in the same place at the same time definitely stirred up some special #DreamTeam magic. 🧙♂️✨ It wasn't all sweet though: it was also Funda Ustek Spilda 's last day as Fairwork’s Project Manager. We saw her off with a delicious cake, baked by multi-talented Lola Brittain. Although Funda will continue to be a part of the Fairwork project in a research capacity we will all miss getting to work with her every day! (& we missed you, Jonas CL Valente!)
