Our Fight for Workers' Rights at around the world
About IAATW
In January 2020, app-based drivers from sixteen countries and six continents convened in Oxford, England, to launch an international federation of driver organisations.
Together we committed to advancing the rights of drivers and the dignity of our profession across the globe, by working together, across political, geographic, and company boundaries, to build real power for drivers and other app-based transport workers.
Key Objectives
To develop and execute global campaigns - launched at the global and local levels - against app-based multinationals, to advance our rights and dignity
1
To build and expand our capacity to organise ourselves into strong, grassroots organisations and unions, in every continent
2
To build solidarity, cooperation and knowledge across all our affiliated organisations to increase our capacity to take on both local driver issues as well as the global industry.

IAATW at the ILC
ILO's first Convention on Decent Work in the Platform Economy
C-193 is the first convention by the ILO concerning rights and working conditions of workers in the platform economy.
In June 2025 and June 2026, the International Labour Conference convened discussions on decent work in the platform economy, bringing together representatives of governments, employers and workers from ILO member states. Through a two-year standard-setting process, delegates deliberated on the need for international labour standards addressing the evolving nature of platform work.
On 12 June 2026, the Conference adopted ILO Convention No. 193 (C193), the Decent Work in the Platform Economy Convention, 2026. The Convention establishes an international framework addressing working conditions and labour rights in the platform economy.
The full text of the Convention is available below.
