Prof. Leimeister at the DGB Digitalization Congress
On 3 November, Prof. Leimeister took part in the "Working World 4.0" digitalization congress organized by the German Trade Union Confederation (DGB), where he discussed the opportunities and risks for good work in the digital age with representatives from politics and business as part of a panel discussion. In addition to Federal Minister of Labor Andrea Nahles and the chairpersons of the DGB, IG Metall and ver.di, numerous experts from the fields of science, politics and culture also took part in the congress.
In this context, Prof. Leimeister focused in particular on crowd work as an increasingly relevant form of digital work and discussed possible implications for both employees and companies. During the panel discussion, Prof. Leimeister also presented some interesting results from a recent Germany-wide survey of crowd workers, which was conducted as part of the "Crowd Work - Working in the Cloud" project funded by the Hans Böckler Foundation.
