- The International Labour Organisation adopted Convention No. 193: Concerning Decent Work in the Platform Economy at its 114th Session in Geneva.
- The convention is the first global treaty to establish binding labour standards for gig and platform workers.
- It covers both online and location-based workers, including delivery and taxi workers, in the formal and informal sectors.
- The treaty guarantees fair pay, correct worker classification, social security, freedom of association, non-discrimination and safe working conditions.
- It requires algorithmic transparency, giving workers the right to seek human review of important automated decisions such as account deactivation or withheld payments.
- The convention will come into force 12 months after at least two member states ratify it.
