A Webinar 

by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) 

and the New Economics Foundation (NEF) 

 

8.30am (Washington DC) / 2.30pm (Brussels) / 8.30pm (Singapore) 

July 1, 2020 

 

Eighty-four Members of the World Trade Organization (WTO) are negotiating a
plurilateral trade agreement on e-commerce. The negotiations have little to
do with e-commerce itself and even less with trade. The WTO negotiations are
aiming at constructing a global data governance that would further empower
the positions of technology giants and data companies on the expense of
workers rights, wages, democracy, and privacy. 

 

The ITUC published a report written by Duncan McCann of the New Economics
Foundation that reveals how current textual proposals, if agreed, would harm
global labour in many ways: from increasing precarious platform work and
creating massive governance gaps to applying workplace surveillance. 

 

Join us on July 1 at 8.30am (Washington DC) / 2.30pm (Brussels) / 8.30pm
(Singapore) to discuss 

 

. The report's findings with regards to the workplace, quality of
employment, industrialization for developing countries, platform work and
other areas 

. How a WTO agreement could lead to exacerbating inequality, increasing
labour market polarization, and monopolies 

. How Big Tech is taking advantage of the COVID-19 crisis to capture more
data and increase their power 

 

Report findings by Duncan McCann (NEF) and Yorgos Altintzis (ITUC) 

Discussion with Anna Byhovskaya (TUAC) 

Moderated by Alison Tate (ITUC)
