Fairwork Pledge

Platform work provides essential income and opportunities to tens of millions of people around the world. However, most platform workers are not protected by existing employment law or collective bodies, meaning they face low pay, precarity, and poor and dangerous working conditions.

Therefore, Castle Douglas Development Forum has decided to become a Fairwork Supporter to contribute to a fairer future of work in the digital platform economy. The Fairwork project evaluates working conditions on digital platforms against five principles of fair work: fair pay, fair conditions, fair contracts, fair management and fair representation. CDDF supports these principles.

With this commitment, we also want to encourage other organisations to join us and Fairwork in our efforts to create a fairer future of work in the digital platform economy.
