Legislator Paola Vega, from Acción Acción Ciudadana (PAC), presented a bill to protect the labor rights of digital platform workers, such as Uber Eats and Glovo.
New technologies have generated innovative business models. For these enterprises to benefit the entire society, modern and appropriate regulatory frameworks must be created. In particular, we require new legal provisions so that digital platform workers enjoy the same labor rights as the rest of the population,”
explained Vega,
The legislator said that, unfortunately, workers in food and goods delivery platforms deal with precarious working conditions. The phenomenon also occurs in the transport services of people.
Those people who make home deliveries by car, bicycle or motorcycle do not even have work risk insurance. Every time they go out to work they can have an accident and are totally unprotected. It is a great injustice that we must correct as quickly as possible,”
added Vega.
The initiative aims to reform the Labor Code by including a new chapter in these regulations.
