The Machine As Boss: Regulating Gig Work and Algorithmic Management
<p>Work Matters. The Australian Institute of Employment Rights Podcast</p> <p>In this episode, we investigate two aspects of The Machine as boss. Firstly, we look at the dark side of the gig economy in Australia and around the world, "the last frontier of labour exploitation" as our guest, Emanuele Menegatti, Full Professor of Labour Law and Dean of the School of Economics and Management at Bologna University, Italy, describes it. Why are gig workers not covered by our system of workplace rights? Are there ways to bring them into the system, by recognising or deeming them to be employees? Or should we develop a separate regulatory scheme for these workers? What can we learn from developments in Europe?</p> <p>Increasingly, the both the assignment of work and management and supervision of work tasks is being handled by machines. What are the consequences for workers and what should be done in response? We discuss this emerging issue of "algorithmic management" with Victor Bernhardtz, Ombudsman for Digital Labour Markets at Unionen, a large trade union in Sweden.</p> <p>Featuring outro music by Forbes Hawkins and other music by Epidemic Sound.</p> <p>Photo by <a href="https://unsplash.com/@john_cameron?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText">John Cameron</a> on <a href="https://unsplash.com/s/photos/computer-hurdles?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText">Unsplash</a></p>
