TOWARDS THE DECENT WORK – THE POSITION OF CROWDWORKING EMPLOYEES

Summary/Abstract: The concept of digital labour is not a new phenomenon. The new forms of employment, of which the most important is the Crowd Employment, appear as a result of the digital revolution. The Crowd Employment represents a relatively new and poorly investigated phenomenon in political sociology. This paper is trying to determine the basic characteristics of Crowd Employment based on the analysis and to find out whether the basic characteristics of Crowd Employment correspond to the current understanding of the decent work. In the purpose of answering this research question, the researcher will make an analysis of the Crowd Employment and give the basic characteristics of this kind of employment. On the other hand, the basic characteristics of decent work are also present in this paper. The researcher will make a comparison of these characteristics afterwards. The results of the research in this paper show that Crowd Employment has more negative than positive characteristics. Based on these results, the researcher gives a negative response to the research question. At the end of this paper, the main accent will be on the role of the trade unions in protection of basic rights of employees at Crowd Employment, aiming at Crowd Employment to become decent work.
