Nandini Chami participated in the seminar Shaping the Future of Work: Strengthening Protections for Gig and Platform Workers in India, held on Saturday, November 16, 2024, at the Conference Hall, NLSIU.
Nandini was part of Panel 5: Algorithm and Conditions of Work (4:00 PM to 5:30 PM), where discussions focused on the impacts of algorithmic management on gig and platform workers. The session examined how opaque algorithms shape pay, work hours, and conditions while tightening corporate control and introducing new forms of discrimination. Panelists also explored strategies for workers to reclaim control over their workplace lives.
The seminar featured five panels addressing crucial issues in platform work, including working conditions, legal challenges, social security, collective bargaining, and algorithmic governance.
