Workers 🫱🏽‍🫲🏾 Democracy

THE ROAD TO RATIFICATION 🚗 The @ilo.org has adopted #C193 concerning Decent Work in the Platform Economy, but the journey for workers and their unions and organizations continues. Now, the ILO's member countries must ratify the convention and align its laws and practices with these new standards. 💥

So much to celebrate lately, because WHEN WE FIGHT, WE WIN ✊🏾 Seven years ago today, the @ilo.org adopted Convention 190 on Violence and Harassment in the World of Work, the first international treaty protecting all workers from gender-based violence and harassment in the workplace. #C190

The @ilo.org just adopted the first international labor standards for app-based work, establishing new protections for hundreds of millions of workers whose jobs are managed through digital platforms and algorithms. Meet the workers who helped make this happen 👇🏽 sclinks.co/4viL4zi #ILC2026

Right now, our union partners are with others from the global labor movement at #ILC2026 to negotiate a new international labor standard for platform workers. We'll be there, amplifying worker voices as they bring their experiences and skills to the table.

Though platform workers have become a necessity for many people, they often lack basic necessities themselves. That's why workers like Lem from the Philippines are pushing for a strong standard on decent work in the platform economy at this year's International Labour Conference.

When women labor leaders like Kgomotso join forums like #CSW70, they bridge the gap between workers & global decision-making bodies. With a union, they can have a seat at the table & use their voices to shape policies that impact their work, their families & their communities.

THIS is why freedom of association is vital for workers 👆🏾
