En esta ocasión conversamos con Albert Cañigueral, conector de la red Ouishare, a quien ya tuvimos como invitado en este podcast hace casi dos años. Esta vez hablamos sobre un estudio que acaban de publicar y que lleva por título “El mercado laboral digital a debate: Plataformas, Trabajadores, Derechos y WorkerTech”. Este informe, cuya lectura os recomendamos, ayuda comprender mejor el futuro del trabajo, y más en concreto el de las personas trabajadoras, sus derechos y necesidades, en un escenario en el que las relaciones de trabajo parece que tienden a atomizarse. Para la elaboración del informe se han detectado, analizado y organizado las diferentes señales que están generando la transformación del mercado de trabajo así como los cambios que implica en las relaciones económicas y sociales en torno al empleo. Entre otros temas, el informe presta atención al nuevo mercado que los cambios que está experimentando el mundo de trabajo, y en particular el trabajo en plataformas, está creando para una multitud de soluciones "WorkerTech", que es como se conoce la oferta de servicios digitales que aprovechan el poder y la comodidad de la tecnología para ofrecer a los trabajadores independientes y flexibles beneficios personalizados a la vez que les facilitan el acceso a sistemas de protección y la defensa de sus derechos. El proyecto de estudio fue seleccionado en el marco de la convocatoria del Programa de Innovación Abierta (PIA) de la Fundación Cotec y contó con el apoyo adicional de la plataforma para freelancers Malt. Esperamos que os resulte inspirador. Podéis encontrar más información sobre esta iniciativa y descargaros el informe desde este enlace.

Hot on the heels of our WorkerTech podcast, we look at promotion opportunities for part time staff. A charity has created a new cancer support map. Facebook and Google go to war with Apple. And have the police gone too far? … Is now the time of facial recognition software? Bex was away in lovely Bristol and we are sadly guestless due to the dreaded winter lurgy, but thankfully host Jonny-Rae Evans, Greg Aston, Ben White and Producer Paul held down the fort. This weeks topics: Part-time workers have just 21% chance of being promoted as opposed to full-time which is 45% And 78% are working beyond their contracted hours: https://www.workingfamilies.orghttps://www.workingfamilies.org.uk/news/mfi_2019/.uk/news/mfi_2019/ Dimbleby Cancer Care launches cancercaremap.org: https://www.charitydigitalnews.co.uk/2019/01/30/charity-creates-online-cancer-support-map/ Facebook caught sucking up data, the problem wasn’t they broke the law, they broke Apple’s terms of service….and then Google got caught too: https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/29/facebook-project-atlas/ https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/30/googles-also-peddling-a-data-collector-through-apples-back-door/ Police facial recognition test: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/facial-recognition-cameras-technology-london-trial-met-police-face-cover-man-fined-a8756936.html And finally...

This Tech for Good Live podcast is a three-part series about WorkerTech, made in conjunction with our friends at Bethnal Green Ventures. In this third and final episode we wrestle with the concept of the Gig Economy and talk about precarious workers. Is the Gig Economy inherently bad and exploitative, or does it provide freedom and flexibility? Is it possible for a WorkerTech solution to exist in this space? We sit down and chat with Uber, Zinc, Cabfair and whole host of others as we try to get an answer. Throughout this series we spoke to Dan Tomlinson from the Resolution Trust, Linda Wickstrom from Accenture, Fabian Wallace-Stephens from the Royal Society of Arts, Unman Mohamed from Organise, Guy Levin from Uber, Duncan McCann from the New Economic Foundation, Rachel Carey from Zinc and of course, Jessica Stacey from Bethnal Green Ventures.

This Tech for Good Live podcast is a three-part series about WorkerTech, made in conjunction with our friends at Bethnal Green Ventures. In this second episode we talk about the importance of workers having a voice. The importance of employees being able to support one another, to organise and take shared action. As union membership declines and tech becomes ever more integral to work and our daily lives, has the ability to come together and to organise faded away? What role is tech playing in this space? We talk about the Google Walkout, hear about a WorkerTech case study to support Amazon employees, and we discuss remote working.
