Register for the ILAW webinar on the regulation of telework in Europe and Central Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well-regulated telework offers workers flexibility and autonomy, allowing for a better balance between work and personal and family life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In times of social and political upheaval, whether a global pandemic or unlawful invasion, it is a lifeline that can enable workers to retain their livelihoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, poorly regulated telework can allow employers to push the costs of running a business onto workers, result in longer work hours and a blurring between work and personal time, and leave isolated workers vulnerable to discrimination, harassment and other abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Telework also presents challenges for union organizing, which generally relies on physical proximity to reach workers and create a sense of solidarity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The webinar will feature the authors of the latest ILAW reports on telework in Moldova, Ukraine and Poland, ILAW members Mihail Cebotari, \u0141ucja Kobro\u0144-G\u0105siorowska, Inna Kudinska, and George Sandul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The authors will examine the impact of telework on a range of worker rights issues, including work hours and the right to disconnect, access to health and safety protections, discrimination, worker misclassification, privacy and the right to collective bargaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
