What do platform workers need to achieve decent work? Speaking from the International Labour Conference (ILC) 2026, Salonie Muralidhara, WIEGO's Digitalization & Platformization Specialist, highlights the urgent need for policies and regulations that reflect the realities of platform work. Representing platform workers and informal workers engaged in the discussions on a new international labour standard for decent work in the platform economy, she calls for stronger social protection, occupational safety and health, protection from violence and harassment, fair pay, and transparency in algorithmic management. Salonie also emphasizes the importance of addressing the unique challenges faced by women platform workers and ensuring that all workers—including ride-hailing, care, and data workers—have their rights protected in an increasingly digitalized economy.
