SUMMARY:Labor Studies 101: The Global Struggle for Platform Workers’ Rights Beyond Proposition 22
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, May 27th activists from the UK\, Spain\, Italy and Belgium will join students from the UCLA Labor Studies Program to discuss recent developments in the global struggle for platform workers’ rights. \nIn California\, Uber\, Lyft and DoorDash have invested more than $200 million to pass Proposition 22 by granting platform companies an exemption from local labor laws to continue the practice of hiring workers without social security\, paid sick leave and the right to organize and bargain collectively. The CEOs of corporations\, such as UBER\, suggested that Proposition 22 would set a precedent for the gig economy at the international level. \nHowever\, platform workers have mobilized across the world to promote a more just regulation of this sector. Between February and April 2021\, the UK Supreme Court and Italian Labor Inspectorate dictated landmark rulings against Uber\, Deliveroo JustEat and Glovo that established the classification of platform workers as employees by providing them with labor rights and social protections. At the same time\, the European and Spanish parliaments are discussing groundbreaking law proposals that would require more transparency in the management of data by companies. \nAlex Marshall\, president of the Independent Workers of Great Britain (IWGB)\, Isabel Chacón from Taxy Project and Riders X Derechos in Spain\, Anne Dufresne\, co-founder of the first European network of food delivery workers and Paolo Borghi\, member of the grassroots union\, Deliverance Milano and postdoctoral scholar at the University of Milan\, will discuss how the struggle for labor rights in the platform economy has advanced after California passed Proposition 22. \nWatch on Facebook Live at 10:300AM PT on May 27th.
