Algorithmic management often neglects workers' dignity and rights, especially for marginalised groups like women and those with domestic responsibilities. Legal reforms are emerging but much remains to be done to ensure accountability, transparency, and fairness.

Although pressuring workers to work when they're sick should be illegal too I think, but the amount of times bosses do this makes me think it isn't

Thanks to Tanvi Deshpande for writing an informative and thought provoking article [1] about informal Indian workers having little heat protection while India braces for summer in 2026.

Informal Indian workers lack heat protection when they work outdoors and in factories without shade, water, or toilets. Heat causes headaches, dizziness, dehydration. Productivity declines with temperature rise. Workers lose income when work stops. Women workers face health risks. Though Government plans mention labourers, adequate support may not reach workers. Studies show garment workers and street vendors face severe health issues, including dehydration and infections. Most lack clean water and sanitation. Experts suggest insurance and much improved hygiene standards.

The above will be unfortunately true for similar workers in other parts of the world. Despite labour protections in advisories, informal workers remain highly vulnerable.
