The agreement by the International Labour Organization (ILO) on June 13, 2025, to develop binding global standards on decent work in the “platform economy,” or gig work, is a positive breakthrough, Human Rights Watch said today. A majority of ILO member states and the workers’ delegates backed the decision at the International Labour Conference, an annual meeting that sets international labor standards and agreements on ILO policy.
Employer delegates and some government delegates, including from Switzerland, India, and the United States, opposed the move.
