Many digital platforms misclassify tech workers, and it’s costing them their rights. Misclassification protects platforms, not people. Recognition matters ! Read the Manifesto👇🏾 pollicy.org/resource/fair-… #FairDigitalKazi

The reality for many tech workers is that an algorithm decides when they work, how much they earn, and whether they stay on the platform. There’s no transparency. No way to challenge decisions. Invisible control is still control. And Africa’s tech workers deserve better.

The absence of a minimum wage in Uganda is no longer a policy oversight. It is a form of institutionalised economic injustice. It undermines the dignity of workers, traps them in poverty, and impedes inclusive growth.

Very inhumane. Every worker, irrespective of his or her employment status, deserves to work under safe and satisfactory working conditions.

In October last year. I approached you with the sad case of Anna Kisakye who had been repatriated from Saudi Arabia intoxicated and on the verge of death. Thanks for the kind contributions you made to save her life, and for the tremendous support from NdagireJoanitaJ. #Writer&director #StopTrafficking of Mwagale

The minimum wage should be decent enough to cover the current cost of living by ensuring workers can afford basic necessities and maintain a decent standard of living.
