Platform work – the matching of the supply of and demand for paid labour through an online platform – often depends on workers who operate in a “grey area” between the archetype of an employee and a self-employed worker. This important book explores the utility of the International Labour Organization’s existing standards in governing this phenomenon. It indicates that despite their relevance, many standards have little or no impact. The standards apply to the issue but they fail to connect with it. The author shows how three ILO conventions – the Home Work Convention, 1996 (No. 177), the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181), and the Domestic Workers Convention, 2011 (No. 189) – can be revitalised to have an impact on the platform work debate. In the course of the analysis he responds in depth to such questions as the following: What are digital labour platforms? What does decent work mean? Did the ILO centenary fundamentally change anything? What is the link between private employment services and platform work? How do crowdworkers relate to homeworkers and teleworkers? Are platform workers engaged in domestic work? What form could a future ILO standard on platform work take? Given that the ILO plans to start discussions on a potential future standard for platform work in 2022, this book will prove very useful in highlighting the issues and standards that such discussions should consider. Research has shown that the techniques and tools of the platform economy have spread far beyond gig work, resulting in widespread “gigification” and restructuring of workplace behaviours and relationships, jobs, and communities across the world. For this and other reasons, including the book’s detailed analysis of issues not addressed elsewhere, labour lawyers, in-house counsel, researchers, and policymakers will gain valuable insight into what decent work in the platform economy would require, thus greatly broadening the discussion on this difficult-to-regulate phenomenon.

The volume seeks to make the international labour standards understandable to practising managers by explaining the meaning and aim of international labour Conventions and Recommendations in a number of fields. It covers standards on the recognition of trade unions and other workers' representatives, and on dealing with them through collective bargaining and various forms of consultative and participatory machinery. Attention is also given to the standards which touch on the personnel function and on human resources management, such as recruitment and selection, training, grievance procedures.

This International Labour Law Handbook from A to Z aims to give a comprehensive overview of the development and current status of labour law and industrial relations issues, including globalization and international labour standards. In this Handbook there are cross-references to international labour standards and European Union directives, resolutions and regulations. In this respect, the reader will notice that some of the definitions from the public domain are taken from legislative and specialized texts dealing with international standards and institutions in general. This International Labour Law Handbook from A to Z is in no way intended to offer an exhaustive and detailed treatment of all labour law and industrial relations issues, rather a reference tool on selected issues found in international instruments and/or social institutions. With this objective in mind, and to make the significant provisions of labour law and industrial relations more understandable to a wider audience, certain liberties have been taken by the authors when reformulating and, in several cases, simplifying the terminology involved. The International Labour Law Handbook should not be used or regarded as an authoritative text on individual international labour standards or on European Union labour law, but as an easy reference work for practitioners and scholars in the field of comparative labour law and industrial relations. Prof. Gianni ARRIGO is Professor of Labour Law at the University of Bari. He has written extensively on International and European Union Labour Law, industrial relations, workers' participation and many other subjects dealing with the world of work. He is President of EIDOS (Rome). He is member of editorial boards of specialized journals in labour law and industrial relations. He is a consultant with the ILO, the EC and several other European and Italian organisations. Prof. Giuseppe CASALE is the Deputy Director of the Intentional Training Centre of the ILO and Director of the Turin School of Development. He is the Secretary General of the International Society for Labour and Social Security Law (ISLSSL). Visiting Professor at the Cà Foscari University of Venice. He has many publications on international and comparative labour law, industrial relations, employment relationship, labour administration and labour inspection.
