La IA ya está transformando el trabajo. La pregunta es: ¿quién la controla, unos pocos gigantes tecnológicos o la democracia? En Oxford he defendido el derecho de las personas trabajadoras a saber, cuestionar y co-decidir los algoritmos que influyen en sus condiciones laborales.

So great to see @yolandadiaz.bsky.social promote the message from our report on Democracy at Work in the wider world. It's a new frontier indeed, and the rest of us better catch up with her, and with Spain.
Spain’s Left Has a New Frontier: Democracy at Work
Spanish Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Díaz speaks about the next frontier of labor rights and how her government is making the case for workplace democracy.

Together, united, that's how we win. As we celebrate trade union advances, let's remember: Rights that once seemed impossible were won through workers organising. This is how we will overcome the challenges we face today and shape a better future. Happy International Workers' Day.
« May Day: we feel the absence of democracy at work even more » Yet, « Spain is not condemned to this situation ». What a hopeful message from the Labor Minister of Spanish Government, @yolandadiaz.bsky.social. The commitment of the Spanish Governement is clear. Yes, there is a plan!
Este Primero de Mayo escribo sobre mi padre y toda esa clase trabajadora que peleó y sobre el país que estamos construyendo. Un país con más derechos, mejores empleos y con un horizonte de esperanza. No vamos a parar hasta conquistar más tiempo y más democracia. www.infolibre.es/opinion/plaz...

Un Primero de Mayo para ir más allá
Toda esta sinrazón que siempre se dirige frente a los mismos, frente a la clase trabajadora de nuestro país, no nos hace perder la esperanza

Wir leben in Demokratien, verbringen aber einen Großteil unseres Lebens in autoritär geführten Unternehmen. Die Soziologin @isabelleferreras.bsky.social erklärt im Interview mit @maxinefowe.bsky.social, warum der Arbeitsplatz demokratisiert werden muss.
Gracias por la entrevista que me permite discutir la ausencia - y iresponsabilidad - histórica de la patronal en la mesa de diálogo social en Madrid sobre las dos promesas de la CE a quienes trabajan: via y propriedad. es.ara.cat/economia/tra...

El lugar donde pasamos gran parte de nuestra vida debe ser más democrático. La democracia también tiene que entrar en las empresas. Os recomiendo leer a Isabelle Ferreras en @eldiario.es www.eldiario.es/economia/tra...
“Los trabajadores en España no pueden participar en las decisiones que gobiernan sus vidas”
La investigadora de Universidades como Lovaina y Harvard destaca que "la gobernanza empresarial en España es despótica", una excepción en Europa y que "no es inteligente" para los retos de futuro

🇪🇸 The Spanish Constitution promises #democracy at #work. For the past year, @benbraun.bsky.social has been part of the expert group of 13 convened by @yolandadiaz.bsky.social ky.social and led by @isabelleferreras.bsky.social studying how to deliver that promise. 👉 www.lse.ac.uk/european-ins...
We were honored to host Vice President and Minister of Labor and Social Economy of Spain, @yolandadiaz.bsky.social and our colleague @isabelleferreras.bsky.social to discuss the newly issued report on democratizing work in Spain and across Europe, Two Promises to Those Who Work: Voice and Ownership
Yolanda Diaz, the Second Vice-President of Spain, and was at Harvard to deliver the Dunlop lecture on our Report on Democracy at Work. In the battle between capitalism and democracy, there is a possibility moving forward with democracy: we need voice and ownership for labor investors.
Es fundamental trabajar en común, desde diferentes perspectivas, para que la democracia entre también en las empresas y llegue a los puestos de trabajo. Me reúno con académicos y académicas de Harvard Kennedy School para compartir las conclusiones del Informe sobre Democracia en el Trabajo.
The website has the full report, video of yesterday's launch, and press clippings. Sad I missed it! It's been a privilege to be working on something so ambitious and hope-inspiring, with such amazing people. Thank you, @isabelleferreras.bsky.social! reportondemocracyatwork.org/en/the-report/
Spain's constitution promises democracy at work. Last year, @yolandadiaz.bsky.social convened an expert group to study how to make good on that promise. Lead by @isabelleferreras.bsky.social, we have delivered what is, we think, the highest-level 400-page report on economic democracy out there. 1/2
Cinco años de resistencias en tribunales, de presiones empresariales, la realidad hoy es clara: la Ley Rider era necesaria, es eficaz y es una referencia en el mundo. Quienes antes eran falsos autónomos sin derechos, hoy son trabajadores con garantías. elpais.com/economia/202...

Fascinating and inspiring talk last night by @isabelleferreras.bsky.social as part of the 'Beyond Capitalism' public lecture series being hosted at Utrecht. Isabelle talked about democratizing work and the economy: why we should care about it and how we can go about doing it.
Very interesting questions from the audience. The recording (which will be online in a day or two) should make for great discussion material for courses in business schools!
Nu in Utrecht, Isabelle Ferreras, over haar onderzoek en advieswerk over Workplace Democracy. Als onderdeel van de reeks “beyond capitalism” die @studiumgeneraleuu.bsky.social organiseert met het Visions for the Future prioject.
Los derechos laborales están en el punto de mira. No podemos bajar la guardia. Debemos seguir avanzando para no dejar a nadie atrás. Un honor participar en el panel "Welfare or warfare: Europe's social model in the age of geopolitical turbulence" del Il Congreso Internacional del Trabajo.
Hoy se cumplen 50 años desde que España dio un gran paso hacia nuestro mayor horizonte: la libertad.
