Last week, CTW community member Bryan Pena shared an article that screamed for engagement by the CTW Community – it is titled “The Antitrust Case Against Gig Economy Labor Platforms”. The article issues a primary challenge to the structure of the platforms in the market – do they actually deliver genuine independence and control over their own work for the worker. Absent that condition, the piece offers a blueprint for using antitrust law to further regulate the Open Talent community.
What we know for sure is that the freedom wanted by the workers in the Open Talent and Open Innovation markets, is matched by the expectation of corporate clients to remain compliant with labor laws.
In response CTW Community member CXC Global has offered to lead a conversation this week about standards…identity worker payment and customer billing top the list, but there are more we can explore. Featured guests include (with more to come):
- John Healy – Expert in Residence, CTW Managing Partner
- Connor Heaney – Managing Director, CXC Global – Europe
- Steve Rader – Program Manager , NASA Tournament Lab and Center of Excellence for Collaborative Innovation
- Albert Azis-Clauson – CEO, Underpinned
- Sam Orrin – Global Director, Business Development, Worksome
- Preston Mossman – former Talent Advisor for Gig Programs at Koch Global Business Services. And now, Digital Product Owner at Molex
