Excellent presentation about gig workers (content , coverage, quality)Thanks for the share. I don’t see any improvement in the working of gig workers in near future due to apathy of government, high unemployment , regid attitude of employers.
Regards

A tough nut to crack! In India where the law takes its own time – the gig worker is at the mercy of the boss! – whwn a lot of these platforms are running at a loss it adds to the problem.

Government has to provide the regulatory oversight and must cover the Gig workmen with appropriate labour laws. It is the responsibility of the Gig economy entrepreneurs to look after their so called “contractors”, exploiting them is a serious crime against the society. The employers’ bodies should take initiative and draft the rules along with the Govt. The investors in the gig enterprises should also apply pressure to do so. We demand a responsible behaviour from all the stakeholders.

Well written Sir. The issues have been brought to the surface. You have also suggested some solutions.
I do not think the government will deal with any of these before the elections.
Though this issue is very important, the government will like to look at the Labour Codes as a whole only after the election.
May be in 2025…a long wait.
