&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The swell of public opinion in China has enabled government regulation and change in company policy&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;On September 20, 2021, the Indian Federation of App-based Transport Workers, on behalf of gig workers, filed a public interest litigation in the Supreme Court demanding that the Union government provide succour to workers affected by the pandemic. The petition has asked for &amp;lsquo;gig workers&amp;rsquo; and &amp;lsquo;platform workers&amp;rsquo; to be declared as &amp;lsquo;unorganised workers&amp;rsquo; so they come under the purview of the Unorganised Workers Social Security Act, 2008. In short, the petition demands social security benefits from food delivery platforms such as Zomato and Swiggy and taxi aggregator apps such as Ola and Uber.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;That same week, China strode ahead in this regard. Owing to public pressure, two of its food delivery platforms, Meituan and Ele.me, committed to end the practice of forcing workers to register as &amp;lsquo;independent businesses&amp;rsquo;, which has long helped these platforms evade responsibilities as employers. Both platforms run a duopoly in the sector, capturing over 90% of the market share, and employ millions of gig workers. In a notice to labour aggregator partners, Meituan said it prohibited signing on delivery workers &amp;ldquo;through deceptive or coercive means&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

The petition has asked for &amp;lsquo;gig workers&amp;rsquo; and &amp;lsquo;platform workers&amp;rsquo; to be declared as &amp;lsquo;unorganised workers&amp;rsquo; so they come under the purview of the Unorganised Workers Social Security Act, 2008.

Owing to public pressure, two of its food delivery platforms, Meituan and Ele.me, committed to end the practice of forcing workers to register as &amp;lsquo;independent businesses&amp;rsquo;, which has long helped these platforms evade responsibilities as employers. Both platforms run a duopoly in the sector, capturing over 90% of the market share, and employ millions of gig workers. In a notice to labour aggregator partners, Meituan said it prohibited signing on delivery workers &amp;ldquo;through deceptive or coercive means&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/a-lesson-from-china-on-gig-workers-rights/article36742791.ece?homepage=true&quot; title=&quot;https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/a-lesson-from-china-on-gig-workers-rights/article36742791.ece?homepage=true&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&#039;

A lesson from China on gig workers’ rights -Sowmiya Ashok

-The Hindu The swell of public opinion in China has enabled government regulation and change in company policy On September 20, 2021, the Indian Federation of App-based Transport Workers, on behalf of gig workers, filed a public interest litigation in the Supreme Court demanding that the Union government provide succour to workers affected by the pandemic. The petition has asked for ‘gig workers’ and ‘platform workers’ to be declared as ‘unorganised workers’ so they come under the purview of the Unorganised Workers Social Security Act, 2008. In short, the petition demands social security benefits from food delivery platforms such as Zomato and Swiggy and taxi aggregator apps such as Ola and Uber. That same week, China strode ahead in this regard.
