Abstract

Non-standard employment practises in the gig economy have recently drawn critical attention from regulators and the courts in a number of jurisdictions across the globe. Transport platform companies have responded to these challenges in several distinct ways in an emerging global battle to preserve their business model. This article provides a typology of the different strategies employed by these companies in six countries, highlighting five key strategies of regulatory activism, strategic litigation in defence of a business model, tactical subcontracting, negotiations with labour unions and threatening to withdraw services. It then shows how the structural features of the gig economy may be diverging into four distinct models in the European Union, China, the United States and the rest of the world. The study contributes to our understanding of the global nature of the struggle for fair working conditions and how platform companies operate in different institutional and regulatory contexts.

全球 Gig 经济:运输平台公司如何适应监管挑战--六国比较分析
最近,"打工经济 "中的非标准雇佣行为引起了全球多个司法管辖区监管机构和法院的高度关注。在一场新出现的维护其商业模式的全球战役中,运输平台公司以几种不同的方式应对这些挑战。本文对这些公司在六个国家采用的不同策略进行了分类,重点介绍了监管激进主义、捍卫商业模式的战略诉讼、战术分包、与工会谈判和威胁撤销服务等五种关键策略。然后,研究说明了在欧盟、中国、美国和世界其他地区,"打工经济 "的结构特征是如何分化成四种截然不同的模式的。这项研究有助于我们了解争取公平工作条件斗争的全球性质,以及平台公司如何在不同的制度和监管背景下运作。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
