Title Could a working conditions rating system protect gig economy workers? Media name/outlet TechWorld Media type Web Country/Territory United States Date 9/04/19 Description A team of academics has created the world's first rating system for working conditions in the gig economy, with the aim of ensuring that the likes of Uber and Deliveroo treat their workers more fairly.
The ratings highlight both shortfalls and good practices at individual platforms. They aim to protect the millions of digital gig economy workers around the world, who often have low pay, scant job security, and poor working conditions, without the legal protections of permanent employees.URL https://www.techworld.com/tech-innovation/new-rating-system-for-digital-platforms-aims-protect-gig-workers-3694758/ Persons Richard Heeks
