Labor Rights Crises in Age of Digital Economy: The conflict between "Rider" and the platform ignored by the state.

Abstract

This article is to study the context of the conflict between “Rider” and Corporation who owns platform technology to reflect the labor rights crisis in the digital economy. The legal system, which is inconsistent with the development of technology systems, has turned opportunities into a crisis Inevitably.

The study uses a conceptual framework based on “Fair Work” as a tool to analyze the causes of conflicts and labor rights crises. The analysis revealed that the legal system that is not able to aid platform workers to earn fair working conditions, especially solving the problem of non-standard compensation, no Labor welfare, and no labor rights protection, resulted in conflicts that lead to the labor rights crises are always presents.

On the other hand, the legal mechanism for resolving labor conflicts, including the existing legal system, still not be able to help with dispute resolution processes and get workers through crises since there is no legal certification for platform workers to have the right to organize in collective bodies.

If all workers are labor, all workers should be employed or contracted under “fair work” principles. Realization of the fair work principles ensures that further pursuit of a solution or resolution of the dispute will usually be based on fairness. That is not only bringing all types of workers to be "formal labor" to contribute platform worker to get labor rights, labor welfare, and work security but also following the change Including the social and economic context in the digital age where most people prefer independence rather than working under a government-controlled system. The duty of the government should be to protect, promote, support, and service, which do not have any effect on independence and designing the life of platform workers.
