IER at the Fairness at Work Conference
Researchers from IER participated in the 6th Fairness at Work Conference at the University of Manchester's Work and Equalities Institute, presenting two papers co-authored with colleagues from IER and the GIG OSH project.
Professor Trine Larsen’s paper entitled 'Platform Strategies Towards Health & Safety Regulations in the Gig Economy’ presented findings from the GIG OSH project comparing the regulatory frameworks covering gig workers in seven European countries.
The presentation of Dr Emily Erickson and Professor Trine Larsen drew on research on the quiet voice of workers in the context of the implementation of new technology. Bringing together research from Danish and English manufacturing firms, the paper highlighted the importance of worker voice in the digitalisation of work and production.
