SUMMARY:Trade Unions in Transformation 4.0 - 5th Session: \"Riders on the S
 torm: How transport workers organise in the emerging platform economy\"
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:The platform economy is growing - the number of online offers i
 s rising and so is\, in the case of delivery\, the number of riders on the
  roads. The pandemic has further increased the demand for online services 
 among the well-situated\, leading platforms to further expand their busine
 ss. <br><br>Meanwhile\, many workers who have lost their formal jobs now s
 eek to work in the platform economy. In most cases\, these workers find th
 emselves in bogus or disguised self-employment with bad working conditions
 . The platforms\, while acting as the real employers on many levels\, deny
  their responsibility and have not been regulated to ensure workers' prote
 ction.<br><br>With this session\, we aim to present and discuss strategies
  of transport workers and trade unions in Argentina\, Indonesia\, Korea\, 
 Belgium\, the Netherlands and Uganda that challenge the digital platform c
 ompanies. You will hear about new approaches and learn what power resource
 s they have made use of to organise and fight for workers' rights.<br><br>
 The event will be translated simultaneously in English/Spanish/Portuguese/
 French and streamed live at: www.fes.de/lnk/transform.<br><br>Introduction
