The International Labour Conference in Geneva, scheduled for June 1-12, will feature a draft convention for platform workers on its agenda. This could be a game-changer for the future of gig work across the world.
The good news is that we don't have to wait for a signed international convention to start delivering better conditions for platform workers today. Regulatory models introduced across Australia, Colombia and New York City offer powerful, real-world blueprints.
Australia looks to set to introduce a minimum safety net rate of AU$31.30 an hour for food delivery workers from 1 July 2026.
Colombia passed Law 2466, guaranteeing all platform delivery workers access to health insurance and occupational risk coverage for the first time.
In New York City, a utilisation rate for drivers ensures they are compensated for waiting time, not just active rides.
As Jack Boutros from the Transport Workers' Union Australia puts it: "It is not individual companies that should set a good example; the market floor needs to be raised."
WageIndicator's Living Tariff Tool gives policymakers, unions and workers a clear, localised picture of what fair pay for gig workers actually looks like. It is a minimum floor. And for the millions of platform workers earning far below it, it would represent a life-changing improvement.
