"Wray proposes a detailed series of recommendations to unions for things they should demand in their contracts to maximize their chances to capitalize on the opportunities afforded by the Platform Work Directive, such as establishing a "governance body" within the company "to govern data formation, storage, handling and security issues. This body should include shop stewards and all members of the body should receive data training."
He also sets out technological tactics that unions can fund and capitalize on to maximize their use of the directive, such as hacking apps to allow gig workers to increase their earnings. He writes warmly of "the sock-puppet method," where many test accounts are used to place and book work through platforms to monitor their pricing systems to detect collusion and price rigging. This has been successfully used in Spain to create the basis for an ongoing lawsuit over price collusion.
The new world of algorithmic management and the new Platform Work Directive offers many opportunities to organized labor. However, there is always the possibility that an employer will simply refuse to follow the law – as Uber has done, after it was found guilty of violating data disclosure work and was fined €6,000/day until it came into compliance. Uber's now paid €500,000 in fines and has not disclosed the data that the law and the courts require of it.
With algorithmic management, bosses have figured out new ways to evade the law and steal from workers. The Platform Work Directive gives workers and unions a whole suite of new tools to force bosses to play fair. It's not going to be easy, but the technological capacity workers and unions develop here can be repurposed to wage all-out digital class warfare."

📢 Problem sa BPI Mobile App – Screen Reader Accessibility for Blind People
Hi guys, I’m Aaron, I'm blind, BPI client and credit card holder. For the past 3 weeks (and counting), totally wala akong access sa BPI Mobile App. Hindi ako makalog in, makacheck ng balance, o makabayad ng credit card bill kasi yung app is completely unreadable sa TalkBack (screen reader application naming mga blind at visually impaired users sa Android).
👉 Ano yung screen reader application?
Para siyang voice na nagbabasa ng laman ng screen para magamit naming mga bulag ang phone o computer – from chat, shopping, entertainment, social media hanggang banking.
Kung hindi accessible yung app sa screen reader, hindi namin siya magagamit. kumbaga sa mga nakakakita, blank screen ang nakikita namin.Kung sa mga nakakakita ito nangyari at biglang nag-blank screen yung buong app nila, sigurado ako na aayusin agad-agad ng BPI.
❌ Pero sa amin, 3 weeks na, and counting. Totally no access. Hindi “inconvenient” lang — this is zero access.
At hindi naman puwede na sasabihin lang na “magpa-assist ka na lang”. Banking is confidential, at dapat independent kaming makagamit ng sarili naming accounts. Kung sa sighted clients hindi acceptable na may ibang makikialam sa banking transactions nila, dapat ganoon din ang respeto at trato sa aming mga bulag.
This is not just a tech issue — violation ito ng rights ng PWDs. May mga batas na nagsasabing dapat accessible at nondiscriminatory ang services:
RA 7277 (Magna Carta for Persons with Disability)
RA 9442 (penalizing discrimination)
BP 344 (Accessibility Law)
Plus, the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
👉 Responsibility ng BPI na siguraduhin na inclusive at accessible ang banking services nila. Hindi puwedeng ma-exclude ang PWD clients.
🔴 Kaya I’m calling on BPI:
1. Ayusin agad ang issue at gawing screen reader–friendly ulit ang mobile app.
2. Maglabas ng malinaw na statement at timeline kung kailan maaayos ang problem sa access.
3. and hopefully, mag-commit na lahat ng future updates ay dumadaan sa accessibility testing.
⚖️ At nananawagan din ako sa Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP): bilang regulator ng mga bangko, dapat ninyo itong aksyunan at siguruhin na ang lahat ng financial institutions ay sumusunod sa accessibility at nondiscrimination laws. Hindi puwedeng iwan sa ere ang PWD clients.
💡 Accessibility is not a favor. Karapatan namin ito.
👉 Kung naniniwala ka sa equal rights ng PWDs, specially for blind people, at sigurado akong may kilala kang PWD friend o family member, please gawin mo ito para sa amin—share niyo itong post para makita ng BPI at BSP na dapat na itong aksyunan.

CW: Spoiler: Tell Me That You Love Me
A snippet (and thus a #SPOILER):
*The woman started to communicate through Korean #SignLanguage unexpectedly.*
Man monologue: I always thought I was the one who should make an effort to live in harmony with others. Because in this world, there are a lot more people who can hear than those who cannot.
But out of all those people, someone came to me and said "he" first. She said she was glad to see me again. And after saying what she prepared to say, she smiled. As if she was saying, "I'm just saying hi. Stop thinking too much."
And she was smiling.
-end-of-snippet-
As an #Autistic person, that struck hard. We always make the effort "to live in harmony with others". Why? "Because in this world, there are a lot more people who" are neurotypical "than those who" are neuroatypical.
Like the deaf character in this show, we also rarely see non-Autistic who will say hi to us before we do.
