The Global Unions’ Committee on Workers’ Capital (CWC) invites PRI in Person participants to a breakfast session on the Labour Rights Investor Network (LRIN).

Freedom of association and collective bargaining are universal labour rights. Yet the majority of the 150 million people working via online platforms are treated as self-employed or classified as independent contractors, which restricts their ability to join a union and excludes them from minimum-wage guarantees, paid leave and other social protections in many jurisdictions.

When platform business models are misaligned with international labour standards, investors may face material operational, legal, regulatory and reputational risks that pose distinct stewardship challenges.

This session will explain why labour rights in the platform economy matter for PRI signatories and how they may approach stewardship. Investors will hear directly from workers, unions and peers, and explore engagement strategies to mitigate risk.
