[Kenya Union of Gig Workers- KUGWO @kugwo_ke]

Ever ordered food, taken a rideshare, or watched a video online? Then you’ve relied on a platform worker.

Right now, millions of delivery drivers, rideshare drivers, and online workers keep our world moving but behind the apps, many of them are fighting for basic rights.

They often deal with unpredictable pay, sudden account deactivation with no explanation, and zero safety nets like sick leave.

This isn't just a "gig worker" issue. It’s a human issue.

Governments are meeting right now to vote on a global treaty that would guarantee fair pay, safe conditions, and basic rights for platform workers everywhere.

How you can help:
It takes less than a minute to sign this petition and demand that our governments vote YES for fair working conditions.

The vote is happening now. Add your name before the deadline and let's stand up for the people who keep our lives running!

The push brings together diverse sectors; @kugwo_ke, The Africa Tech Workers Movement and @Data_Labelers, seek protections for the core AI workforce, while @HomeNetInt and the Women Commercial Drivers Association of Kenya (WCDA-K) are highlighting the unique precarity, discrimination, and lack of safety faced by home-based and women transport workers.

[Africa Uncensored @AfUncensored]

A coalition of seven Kenyan labor unions has launched a coordinated push at the 114th International Labour Conference (ILC-@ilo) in Geneva, demanding an international convention to guarantee rights for digital platform workers. The movement seeks to establish binding global standards for an "invisible workforce" navigating widespread systemic exploitation.

[Kenya Union of Gig Workers- KUGWO @kugwo_ke]

From 1 to 12 June 2026, governments, workers and employers are gathered in Geneva for the 114th International Labour Conference, negotiating a convention that could change the lives of millions of platform workers worldwide.

@kugwo_ke, @techworkersAF @Data_Labelers, @HomeNetInt, Women Commercial Drivers Association of Kenya and African Content Moderators came together in Nairobi to send one message to Geneva, “People powering the world’s technology deserve rights, protections and dignity”
