On *July 1* at 8.30am (Washington DC) / 2.30pm (Brussels) / 8.30pm
(Singapore), the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and the New
Economics Foundation (NEF) are organizing a webinar presenting that report.



They will be discussing:

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

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

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



Moderated by Alison Tate (ITUC)

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

Discussion with Anna Byhovskaya (TUAC)
