Platform work implies an employment form where an online platform is used by organisations or individuals to access other organisations or individuals in order to ensure specific services in exchange for a payment.

Platform work provides essential income and opportunities to tens of millions of people around the world. However, most platform workers are not protected by existing employment law or collective bodies, meaning they face low pay, precarity, and poor and dangerous working conditions.

Therefore, SANEM has decided to become a Fairwork Partner to contribute to a fairer future of work in the digital platform economy. The Fairwork project evaluates working conditions on digital platforms against five principles of fair work: fair pay, fair conditions, fair contracts, fair management and fair representation.

SANEM supports these principles and commits to use the Fairwork ratings as a selection criterion when using digital labour platforms.

With this commitment, we also want to encourage other organisations to join us and Fairwork in our efforts of creating a fairer future of work in the digital platform economy.
