[HomeNet International @HomeNetInt]

The adoption of ILO Convention 193 on #DecentWork in the #PlatformEconomy is a historic victory for workers' rights. It brings platform workers, including home-based workers using digital platforms, closer to recognition, protection, and collective rights.https://t.co/DmEcFKAQsj

[HomeNet International @HomeNetInt]

The #ILC2026 is negotiating a new global standard on #DecentWork in the #PlatformEconomy, including home-based workers. As platforms reshape the world of work, international labour standards must protect all workers, regardless of their employment status.
