Digital Dialogue #11: Transcontinental Gig Work The Next Round In Global Exploitation
This time our panellists dived into the implications of Transcontinental Gig Work. Gig workers, both in the Global North and South, work as online contractors for the benefit of large companies mainly based in the Global North. Given its transnational nature, what kind of self-organisation or regulation does this new labour relationship require? Should it, yet again, privilege workers from the Global North over those from the Global South? Could opportunities for online work stem from illegal south-north migration?
