“🇩🇰has proposed a really modest wealth tax on the super rich of 0.5%. There are people who say it would be an economic disaster. It’s absurd. Does anybody think that if you tax Bill Gates by 0.5%, he will stop working?” - @JosephEStiglitz at @EUparliament #TaxMix2050 @EU_Taxud

En las últimas semanas, la empresa Glovo ha sancionado y despedido a varios compañeros de la sección de CGT en Glovo. La empresa Glovo aplicó un ERE encubierto en las grandes ciudades. Mientras que en las zonas pequeñas anunció ayer un ERE oficial. kaosenlared.net/nuevo-ere-en-g…

🧵La IA generativa no destruye empleos, reorganiza tareas. Pero ojo: el empleo junior cae ~10% en 2 años tras la adopción de IA en empresas (Hosseini y Lichtinger, 2025). No es por despidos, sino porque se deja de contratar juniors. Menos prácticas, peor transición escuela→trabajo. En España, con un 25% de paro juvenil, esto es especialmente preocupante.

Interesante investigación sobre cómo la IA no solamente erosiona el salario pudiendo poner en riesgo la redistribución de la riqueza, sino también las finanzas públicas y el Estado social.

Liking posts to train an algorithm isn't community, it's unpaid platform labor. You're not supporting creators, you're feeding a machine that decides their income. The most valuable thing you can do is share someone's work with actual commentary. A like is silent. A recommendation is loud. Are you supporting creators or just auditing content for free?

New commentary! With just days to go to the #UKElection, @towardsfairwork @oiioxford researchers propose recommendations for the incoming government to provide a foundation for fairer and more sustainable platform work in the UK. bit.ly/4cNduI3 #UKElection2024

Statutory rules for platform workers matter! After the #EU, also in #Brazil, one of the largest markets outside EU and US, lawmakers are working on an upcoming regulation that aims to protect fundamental rights at work for #platformworkers Through #socialdialogue

🤖 @konnex_world is not trying to be just another freelance platform. Its real experiment is redefining digital labor. Because it’s no longer only humans who work — AI agents write code, analyze data, generate content. The real question is: how do you structure trust, payment, and reputation for that kind of labor? Konnex applies Web3 logic here. Trust shouldn’t come from a central company, but from on-chain identity and verifiable transaction history. Humans and AI agents operate in the same marketplace, under the same smart contract rules. If this model works, software stops being just a tool and becomes an economic actor. Humans move toward strategy; agents handle execution. At that point, Konnex isn’t a job platform -it’s a marketplace for digital labor. The real question isn’t the token. It’s whether the platform can adapt to the evolution of work itself.

China has issued administrative labor guidance to 16 major platform and logistics companies, targeting major players in the e-commerce, food delivery and ride-hailing sectors, including YTO Express, Meituan and Didi Chuxing, to safeguard the rights and interests of workers in new forms of employment, as the country works to stabilize and further expand employment.

Digital labour platforms are growing, but how many are there, and how many workers rely on them? Our new ILO brief provides updated estimates and highlights urgent measurement gaps. Read more 👉 bit.ly/4qIlTn1 #PlatformEconomy #FutureOfWork #DecentWork
