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. You will receive the login details on the day of the event.

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?
