This post relates to a conference that I attended in Washington DC, USA in February 2017.
The Focus
On February 28, 2017, key policy makers, business leaders, thought leaders and industry associations came together to discuss the need for a new social contract for gig economy workers. This site is intended to share the conversation from the labor policy forum, continue the dialog and turn that dialog into action.
Panel Two
This panel will explore how we can consolidate an amplify the voice of the gig economy workforce through association, as well as through other channels, such as traditional/social media.
