Africa Tech Workers Movement
@techworkersAF
A movement advocating for the rights, protection and dignity of Africa’s tech workers ✊🏾
The harsh reality for many e-hailing drivers is that there is no time that we are given as to explain ourselves. This culture of instant deactivation and biased reporting without investigation leaves drivers vulnerable. Fair work starts with being heard. #TechWorkers #FairWork
The law needs to catch up to the gig economy. If a company controls how a driver or worker gets a contract and how they operate, that company must be defined as an employer with the responsibilities that follow. #AfricaTechWorkersMovement #TechWorkers #PlatformWorkers #FairWork
Data labelers are raising serious concerns about platforms forcing them to work with their cameras on, allowing unconsented surveillance. This raises questions about privacy, data collection, and safety in the gig economy. #AfricaTechWorkersMovement #TechWorkers #PlatformWorkers
When the app map doesn't match the road, drivers have to take a longer route. The client sees the driver "moving away" and cancels the trip, leading to potential account deactivation for the driver. Fair policy means recognising the real-world challenges.
Our labour laws were written before the gig economy existed. David calls for the government to bring the "Labour Relations Act into technology" to create a legal framework that actually protects e-hailers and other tech workers. Sign the petition chng.it/6TxTftcqWP
Absence of clear, modern laws creates a perfect "vacuum" for global tech companies to operate in the shadows, leaving workers vulnerable. Tech companies are leveraging these gaps in local regulation to operate without accountability and ultimately exploit the workers.
E-hailer drivers report that commission deductions and discount calculations are often opaque, making it impossible for them to understand their true earnings. We need transparency for fair wages. Sign the petition to stand for transparency and fairness chng.it/6TxTftcqWP
Tech companies rely on African workers to train AI models, yet they refuse to pay a fair, global wage. It's time to recognise the true value of the essential intelligence being supplied. This double standard needs to end. Sign the petition chng.it/6TxTftcqWP
If the car is the workplace, why aren't drivers covered for work-related injuries? E-hailing platforms and lawmakers need to acknowledge this reality. It's time to define and legislate work injury benefits for drivers. #AfricaTechWorkersMovement #TechWorkers #FairWorkRealChange

Disappointment. Determination. A refusal to be sidelined. The message is still loud and clear: decisions about platform work must involve the workers themselves. #AfricaTechWorkersMovement #TechWorkers #FairWorkRealChange #PlatformWorkers #DecentWork #DigitalLabourRights
A few days ago, the Senate passed the Business Law (Amendment) Bill 2024 without public participation. We spoke to a few tech workers and a stakeholder about how they feel and what it means. #AfricaTechWorkersMovement #TechWorkers #FairWorkRealChange #PlatformWorkers #DecentWork
