According to a report by the “Business & Human Rights Resource Centre” the ILO is committing to International Standards on so called “Gig Working”.
This has long been a sector that has quickly grown without little oversight or legislation globally. There are millions of workers involved in the so called “Gig or freelance economy” which although suits many has been shown to have exploitative risks if not managed and monitored effectively by companies that use this approach.
At Intertek we have engaged a number of our clients on this subject and we predict an increasing focus by the market, legislators and other stakeholders on this.
Will be interesting to see how this ILO standard develops.
