A global agreement could establish basic protections such as fair pay, reasonable hours, privacy and security and access to benefits regardless of where the employee is based. Without such coordination, remote workers can face exploitation and unequal protections depending on their country. Read Less

Are remote workers prone to more exploitation than none remote workers. I believe in working all workers so if there is a need for specifically protecting remote workers than of course there should be an organization to protect them.

    A lot of these question revolve around international organization and as a commenter pointed out above is there is so much nuance to a question about international work. Maybe the questions could be posed as “Should there be protection of the rights for remote workers in your country and/or internationally?” Read Less

While I do believe that a global framework could help make certain that remote workers are treated fairly and not exploited, working conditions, labor laws, and economic structures differ from country to country. This makes it hard to create a single standard the works for, and benefits everyone. So, if a global agreement like this is ever implemented, it would need to remain flexible enough to respect the varying laws, standards, and capacity of each country participating in order to be successful in practice. Read Less
