Fair labor
Technology does not stand apart from the economy that supports it. Sustainable systems depend on fair labour, ethical business models, and shared value creation. A just digital economy is one where those who contribute are recognized and rewarded.
Fair labour comes to life when we:
- •Ensure fair pay and safe conditions. From developers to data labelers, everyone who sustains a system deserves equitable treatment.
- •Distribute value fairly. Avoid extractive business models that concentrate wealth and power while externalizing costs.
- •Support sustainable funding. Choose models that balance profit with reinvestment in community and maintenance.
- •Recognize invisible work. Acknowledge and support the emotional, social, and volunteer labour that keeps ecosystems alive.
- •Build cooperative ecosystems. Favor partnerships and ownership structures that align incentives with collective wellbeing.
