Listen "Sharan Burrow: Social Protections in the Age of Technology"
Episode Synopsis
Technology is quickly changing the nature of work. Full-time employment with health care and a pension is being replaced with short-term contracts with no benefits, leaving workers exposed. Sharan Burrow has been General Secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation since 2010, and a champion of workers rights in the age of technology. Burrow joined a panel on social protection and the future of work during the 2018 IMF-World Bank Annual meetings. The IMF's David Pedroza sat down with Sharan Burrow in Bali, Indonesia, where the meetings took place.
