SUMMARY:TOWARDS A FAIRER PLATFORM WORK: POLICY PROCESSES AND SOCIAL DEMANDS
DESCRIPTION:Seminar funded by the COST Action Platform Work Inclusion Living Lab with the support of Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli and Horizon Europe INCA project. \nRising at the crossroads between waged labour and self-employment\, very often positioned in the labour law grey areas of the legislative systems of European countries\, platform work is the subject of a deep and variegated debate with respect to the type of regulatory intervention to put in place in order to guarantee\, at the same time\, a development of the sector and the protection of workers. \nWhile the awareness that regulatory intervention is necessary seems to have settled – both at academic and public policy level – there are still sharp differences as to how. \nThere is a renewed role of public institutions – from municipalities to states – in favouring collective bargaining between companies and platforms\, as well as in defining regulations on different scales. Local experiments were followed by several legislative initiatives at national level (Italy\, Spain). To these\, the proposal for a European directive (2021) that is still under discussion must be added. \nAlongside these initiatives\, platform workers’ mobilisations continued in some sectors\, in particular in the food delivery. In some cases\, e.g.\, that of the Takeaway group\, the trade unions signed collective agreements with the companies\, settling the construction of a more stable system of industrial relations. \nThe effects and evaluations of these initiatives are manifold; in some cases\, they have profoundly changed platform work\, in other cases they have struggled to find effective implementation or have been strongly opposed by workers or companies. \nThe seminar will consider both policy initiatives (top-down) promoted by national and European institutions\, and company agreements and demands (bottom-up) expressed by workers’ mobilisations. \nFormat\nParticipation is free but under registration by 9 October 2023. Fill the form at the following link: https://forms.gle/CNiT8igzyVCq52d58 \nThen you will receive an official email invitation by the COST Action P-WILL you will have to accept. \nIt will be possible to participate both online (Zoom) or in person. \nThe seminar will be organised around 4 sessions – 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon – concentrated in a single day. \nThe morning sessions will focus on legislative initiatives (top-down) promoted by national and European institutions\, the afternoon session on company agreements and demands (bottom-up) expressed by workers’ mobilisations. \nThe contributions will address the following topics: \n\nDo legislative proposals have to be focused exclusively on platform work or work in general?\nIs it enough to define one European legislative initiative for all platform workers or do we need multiple laws tailored to the different categories of platform workers?\nHow in force legislations affected platform work? Did they improve working conditions and social protections?\nIs the EU directive a promising solution? Which are its value and its potential risks?\nWhat strategies of resistance and mobilisation (formal and informal) can we identify in the context of platform work? Are they adequately supported by the existing legislation/practices?\nWhich real life examples of resistance and mobilisation in platform work can we draw from?\nHow decolonial and feminist perspectives may help to better understand workers’ claims and protests?\nAre industrial relations strong enough to self-regulate platform work? May we appoint some collective agreements as best practices?\n\nAgenda\n9:30-10:00 Welcome and introduction  \nMaurilio Pirone (University of Bologna) \n10:00- 11:30 The path towards a EU Directive on platform work \nChair: Guido Smorto (University of Palermo) \n\nClass actors and dynamics influencing the EU Platform Work Directive\n\nBen Wray (Gig Economy Project) \n\nA feminist critique of the EU directive\n\nNelli Kambouri (National Hellenic Research Centre\, online) \n\nThe power of lobbying\n\nEdoardo Mollona (University di Bologna) \n11:30-12:00 Break \n12:00-13:30 Innovating policies \nChair: Mattia Frapporti (University of Bologna) \n\nRight to disconnect \n\nKosjenka Dumančić (University of Zagreb) \n\nWhat law for domestic platform workers?

SUMMARY:Workshop: From ‘Big Tech’ to ‘Small Tech’: Values\, Norm-Building\, and Open-Source
DESCRIPTION:Online platforms are shaping various aspects of our social\, political\, and economic lives and have become not only integral to our daily routines but also ignited critical discussions. As the focus shifts towards making platforms more socially responsible and accountable\, we find ourselves at the crossroads of innovation and responsibility. \nIn our discussion\, Christina Dinar and Martin Kenney will open up a conversation about platform alternatives to global monopolists and discuss how open-source could be used as a competitive strategy. \nSpeakers\nChristina Dinar is a Junior Researcher for Platform Governance at Leibniz Institut for Media Research|Hans Bredow Institut and specializes in community-involved content moderation practices and user participation perspectives. She will present the outcomes of her research project on small platforms and user courts. \nMartin Kenney is a Distinguished Professor of Community and Regional Development at the University of California\, Davis\, and a Senior Project Director at the Berkeley Roundtable on the International Economy. Martin’s scholarly interests are in the interplay between technology\, academic institutions\, finance\, and competition in capitalist economies and how these dynamics affect people and places. Martin has written extensively on platform economy\, platform entrepreneurship\, and competition. \nModerator\nAlina Kontareva will be moderating the discussion. She is a senior researcher in the Innovation\, Entrepreneurship & Society research group at the Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG) and co-lead of the INCA research project at HIIG. Alina’s research focuses on online platforms and particularly on national platform alternatives\, their competitive strategies\, and the role of the state in competition and innovation. \n  \nTo participate in the event\, please register here.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: “Data is a relation\, not a property”
DESCRIPTION:From 5 to 26 May 2023\, in the spaces of Bologna Attiva at DumBO\, the INCA partner Fondazione per L’innovazione Urbana host the exhibition “Data is a relation\, not a property”\, presented in 2021 by the Austrian Pavilion Platform Austria at the Venice Architecture Biennale. \nData is a relation\, not a property stages a polyphonic\, profound and punctual account of the process of the ‘flattening’ of existence\, with a specific look at so-called ‘platform urbanism’\, i.e. the forms\, dynamics and ways in which digital platforms transform the urban and its forms of life. It is a visual\, textual\, theoretical\, artistic and research exploration that allows us to enter into the complexity\, dynamics\, tensions and trends of our platform-society\, and contributes to creating a public space for reflection and discussion on some of the issues that affect the present of our city and contribute to designing its future. \nThrough a composite programme which\, within the framework of the exhibition\, provides for the organisation of different moments of encounter\, this second life of Platform Austria will give space in particular to the deepening of the slogan “Data is a relationship\, not a property“\, in order to open a public reflection on the construction of new and different data policies\, and on the experimentation of alternatives to the privatisation of data. \nThe programme: \n\nFriday 5 May\, 16.00 – 17.30: workshop What about art and the digital? Tips and insights.\nCarmen Hines (Technische Universität Wien) and Benjamin Gerdes (Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm) will lead this workshop\, which aims to measure how contemporary art is being transformed in the maelstrom of digitalisation. Through the discussion and viewing of the works of some digital artists\, a collective reasoning on this issue will be developed through the confrontation with heterogeneous artistic practices. Secondly\, the workshop intends to reflect on how it is possible to rethink forms of art exhibition and curatorship in the light of the most recent technological transformations symbolised by Artificial Intelligence.\nFriday 5 May\, 6.30 pm: talk and opening of the exhibition “Data is a relation\, not a property”\nPeter Mörtenböck and Helge Mooshammer\, Curators of Platform Austria and Professors at the Technische Universität Wien will open the exhibition with an introductory talk.\nThe talk will be in English with a presentation of the contents in Italian. Followed by an aperitif. Free admission.\nFriday 26 May\, 6 p.m.: Round table and closing Data as common. Possibilities\, experimentations\, risks.\nProgramme to be finalised.\n\nThe exhibition is open from Monday to Friday\, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.\, with free admission. \nAll events are held at the Officina shed in DumBO\, via Casarini 19.

SUMMARY:Report Launch: Fairwork UK Ratings 2023 – A Call for Transparency
DESCRIPTION:Digital labour platforms are increasingly challenging conventional employment relations and shaping the future of work in the UK. On the one hand\, gig work promotes economic growth and the creation of new jobs lowers labour market entry barriers for some workers\, and provides job flexibility to those who need it. On the other hand\, companies might slip through existing regulatory frameworks and workers experience unfair working conditions on the platforms. \nThis year’s report ‘Fairwork UK Ratings 2023: A Call for Transparency’ evaluates working conditions at 12 of the most popular digital labour platforms in the country\, including Amazon Flex\, Bolt\, Deliveroo\, Getir\, Gorillas\, Just Eat\, Ola\, Pedal Me\, Stuart\, Task Rabbit\, Uber\, and Yoopies. Our findings reveal that there are significant shifts underway in the platform economy in the wake of a tech financing collapse\, a cost-of-living crisis\, and the alleviation of COVID-19 restrictions for a whole year. Whilst the pandemic may have been halcyon days for platform companies\, the reality is starting to bite. We’ll be asking whether workers are left paying the price.\n \nPROGRAMME: \n14.00 – Welcome \n14.15 – Presentation of report findings \n14.45 – Panel discussion \n16.00 – Live audience Q&A \n16.30 – Networking \n*Drinks and light refreshments will be provided. \nPRESENTERS: \nDr. Adam Badger\, Lead Researcher\, Fairwork UK\, Oxford Internet Institute \nDr. Funda Ustek-Spilda\, Senior Researcher and Project Manager\, Fairwork UK\, Oxford Internet Institute \nEXPERT PANELLISTS:\n \nDr Sarrah Kassem – Lecturer\, Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences\, University of Tübingen \nEmma Selinger – Ventures Manager\, Resolution Foundation \nMichael ‘Six’ Silberman – Postdoctoral Research Fellow\, Bonavero Institute of Human Rights\, Faculty of Law\, University of Oxford \nFerdousara Uddin – Regional Organiser\, GMB Union
