Addressing critical issues in platform work

Platform work is a vital source of income and opportunities for tens of millions globally.

However, most platform workers are not protected by existing employment laws or collective bodies, resulting in widespread issues such as low pay, job insecurity, and hazardous working conditions. 

Recognising these challenges, Bookster has taken a decisive step to make a positive impact.

Embracing the principles of Fairwork

The Fairwork project evaluates digital platforms based on five core principles: fair pay, fair conditions, fair contracts, fair management, and fair representation.

As a Fairwork Supporter, Bookster is committed to upholding these principles and advocating for better treatment of platform workers.

Significance of the collaboration

Bookster’s decision to support Fairwork reflects its dedication to ethical practices and fair treatment for all workers.

This partnership is expected to set a positive precedent within the industry, encouraging other companies to join the movement towards fairer working conditions.

By endorsing Fairwork, Bookster aims to promote:

1. Fair Pay: Ensuring that all workers receive adequate compensation for their efforts.
2. Fair Conditions: Creating safe, healthy, and supportive work environments.
3. Fair Contracts: Advocating for transparent and equitable contractual terms.
4. Fair Management: Supporting ethical management practices.
5. Fair Representation: Championing the rights of workers to have a voice in decision-making processes.

A call to action for the industry

Bookster’s collaboration with Fairwork is a call to action for other organizations.

By joining this initiative, companies can contribute to creating a more equitable digital platform economy.

This is an opportunity to be part of a movement that prioritises the well-being and rights of workers, ensuring sustainable and just growth in the digital economy.

Bookster invites other companies to join this important cause. Together, we can build a fairer future for everyone involved in the digital platform economy.
