RATIONALE
Today's socio-economic crisis and global transformation, new technologies and Artificial Intelligence are changing basic labor market models for all sectors, challenging advances in democracy, civil rights and freedoms.
The disappearance of the professions, employment problems, the Gig Economy, growing economic inequality, a significant reduction in the protection of rights in the global labor market are putting at risk all the assets and values of the international trade union movement.
The institutions of power are crumbling as we speak. Economic and social leverage is being taken over by unaccountable "digital guys" from digital corporations who have no regard for justice and no understanding of the future, filling our world with digital fantasies.
Fighting these phenomena is quite impossible. Evolutionary development has no way back.
On this basis, the Independent IT Workers Union (Kyiv) requests support from the international trade union movement to create an International Corporation (Hab) for Sustainable Development Project Management, providing for the signing of an international agreement between interested international trade union organizations and governments of participating countries.
The agreement calls for the deployment of a "digital institutional platform" that will be owned and operated by trade unions.
At the same time, the digital institutional platform cannot belong to corporations, governments, businesses, individuals, because this would once again subordinate society to selfish interests, opening the way to a new, now digital non-personal slavery, the slavery of intelligence and knowledge, where our personal information becomes a profit for individuals.
The digital institutional platform, as a new solidarity-based social institution, allows:
protecting democratic rights and freedoms both in the digital space and in the real economy against the background of global transformations and limited legal systems;
ensuring the development of labor law in the digital industry, the Digital Economy and the implementation of Artificial Intelligence;
promoting the creation of a "middle class" as the basis of economic sustainability and sustainable development;
ensuring extensive involvement of unions in green economic policies, adaptation to climate change, countering environmental degradation, natural disasters and military conflicts.
Today, only the trade unions that adhere to the principles of justice and solidarity, oriented to the protection of the rights, interests and freedoms of the individual and are a recognized international institution, only they possess the set of qualities necessary for innovation, cross-border economic cooperation and achieving mutual trust, control and security.
Its about time for us to start to act.
