What did we learn? Source: J.M. Leimeister, D. Durward, S. Zogaj, „Crowdworker in Deutschland“, 2016 Learn about workers � Very diverse groups (students, housewifes, self employed, unemployed, employees, retired ....) � Younger than average workforce, almost 50% women � High education level, broad knowledge � Like the work, even microtasking requires a lot of skills
Code of Conduct Crowdstorms: Jovoto
What we demand Political demands (in Germany) � Enhance concepts of employee, employee-like person, homeworkers � Minumum fees � Right to organise in trade unions (<->cartel legislation) � Social Insurance (obligatory contribution to pension fund, lower minimum fees medical insurance ..) � Right for trade unions to contact workers / access to platforms � Transparency and portability of reputation (systems) � If a company uses Crowdsourcing it has to be seen as a „change of business“ ( Betriebsänderung , §111 BetrVG)
