公平工作委员会:全球化语境下用工平台的治理策略

The Fairwork Foundation: Strategies for Improving Platform Work in a Global Context

本文介绍了公平工作委员会及其发起的研究项目,该项目致力于在全球范围内建构更公平、透明和公正的平台用工环境。当平台劳动者陷入工作时间长、压力大、收入低、工作环境不安全等现实困境时,公平工作委员会参考《道德倡议基本守则》、SA8000认证计划、《平台工作法兰克福宣言》等提出的劳动标准,确立了全球公平工作的五大原则,即公平薪酬、公平环境、公平合同、公平管理和公平代表。这五项原则被用来考察与评估全球用工平台,制定相应的标准与规则,规范平台用工实践,进而实现平台经济中的体面劳动。公平工作委员会也因此取得了广泛的社会影响。

This paper introduces the Fairwork Foundation and its research initiative that aims at constructing a fairer,more transparent and equitable working environment at the global scale.When platform labourers are trapped into the plights of long working hours,high working stress,low income and insecure working conditions,the Fairwork Foundation has set five principles for global fair work:fair pay,fair conditions,fair contracts,fair management and fair representation,based on the labour standards stipulated by the Ethical Initiative Base Code,SA8000 Certification,Frankfurt Declaration on Platform-Based Work,etc.These five principles are applied to examine and evaluate global labour platforms and formulate corresponding standards and rules to regulate labour practices,for the purpose of promoting decent work in the platform economy.Therefore,the Fairwork Foundation has received wide-ranging social impacts.
