This book shows how to design labour rights to effectively protect
digital platform workers, organise accountability on digital work
platforms, and guarantee workers' collective representation and
action. It acknowledges that digital work platforms entail enormous
risks for workers, and at the same time it reveals the extent to
which labour law is in need of reconstruction. The book focusses on
the conceptual links - often overlooked in the past - between
labour law's categories and its regulatory approaches. By
explaining and analysing the wealth of approaches that deconstruct
and reconceptualise labour law, the book uncovers the
organisational ideas that permeate labour law's categories as well
as its policy approaches in a variety of jurisdictions. These ideas
reveal a lack of fit between labour law's traditional concepts and
digital platform work: digital work platforms rarely behave like
hierarchical organisations; instead, they more often function as
market organisers. The book provides a fresh perspective for
international academic and policy debates on the regulation of
digital work platforms, as well as on the purposes and foundations
of labour law. It offers a way out of the impasse the debate around
labour law classification has reached, by showing what labour law
could learn from digital law approaches to platforms - and vice
versa.
