Labour/data justice
Labour datafication – the accelerating quantification of working life, encompassing data use that extracts additional value from workers – is increasingly recognized as a dimension of the future of work. This article proposes a notion of ‘labour/data justice’ to capture both the deterioration of working life at the labour/data nexus and datafied strategies for effective regulation. We examine ‘labour/regulatory datafication’, focusing on conduits…
A Strategic Approach to Regulating Unacceptable Forms of Work
Upgrading low‐waged and insecure work is central to contemporary labour and development initiatives, from the UN Sustainable Development Goals to the United Kingdom ‘Taylor Review’.

It takes these developments as an opportunity to explore the effective regulation of contemporary labour markets, and in particular the role of …
