But today, the pace of technological change and innovation is unprecedented. This raises the question of whether workers, organizations, governments and economies as a whole can adjust quickly enough. In Germany, the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs has in mid-2014 created a framework for both a public and a high-level expert dialogue on the future of work – “Work 4.0” as we call it. As part of the process we scrutinize the drivers that are changing the world of work, analyze the areas in which policy responses may be required and develop concrete proposals for policy. Topics we discuss are, for example, working time and teleworking regulations, the effects of digitalization on employment and skill requirements as well as the development of the on-demand economy. Our dialogue process will come to a preliminary close with a final conference at the end of November, where we will present and discuss the conclusions we have drawn from the dialogue process. Given the magnitude of the digital transformation, the JustJobs Network aptly selected technology and jobs as the theme of its 2016 annual flagship publication. This volume documents how different countries, at varying levels of development, are grappling with the advent of new technology and its effects on their labor markets. This timely project coincides with heated debates on the displacement of workers due to automation, the on-demand economy and innovation in many countries. In the face of the current changes, we cannot preserve the world of work as it is, and in some respects it would be even counterproductive if we tried. But I am sure that if we manage transformation processes well and adapt our institutions accordingly, we can minimize the negative impacts and harness the potential for new and better jobs that the digital transformation offers.

  • Gig Companies Are Facing Dozens of Lawsuits Over Workplace Violations
    FACT SHEET | AUGUST 2019 Gig Companies Are Facing Dozens of Lawsuits Over Workplace Violations At work, we should all expect to make enough to live and thrive; care for our families, ourselves, and our communities; and work together to improve our working conditions. Laws regulating the workplace provide a basic foundation on which to build. Workers Are Suing to Defend Their Rights Some companies that use technology to dispatch workers to short-term jobs (often called the public relations teams, want to convince workers and policymakers that workers are better off without core workplace protections. “gig economy”), together with their lobbyists and Many of these companies assert that their workers are happy with jobs that provide no say in the terms and conditions of their employment simply because their workers have some minimum wage, no protection against discrimination, no workers’ compensation, and no — degree of “flexibility” to determine their own schedules. Legal claims filed against the companies tell a different story. Our review of litigation filed against just eight companies Uber, Lyft, Handy, Doordash, Instacart, Postmates, Grubhub, and Amazon finds that these companies have been sued at least 70 times by workers — claiming protection under state and federal labor laws. The claims cover underpayment of — wages, tip-stealing, unfair shifting of business costs onto workers, discrimination, and unfair labor practices meant to keep workers from joining together to improve conditions. Plainly, these workers are not happy with

  • FLEXIBLE BENEFITS for the GIG ECONOMY Seth C. Oranburg* Federal Labor Law Requires Employers to Give
    UNBUNDLING EMPLOYMENT: FLEXIBLE BENEFITS FOR THE GIG ECONOMY Seth C. Oranburg∗ ABSTRACT Federal labor law requires employers to give employees a rigid bundle of benefits, including the right to unionize, unemployment insurance, worker’s compensation insurance, health insurance, family medical leave, and more. These benefits are not free—benefits cost about one-third of wages—and someone must pay for them. Which of these benefits are worth their cost? This Article takes a theoretical approach to that problem and proposes a flexible benefits solution. Labor law developed under a traditional model of work: long-term employees depended on a single employer to engage in goods- producing work. Few people work that way today. Instead, modern workers are increasingly using multiple technology platforms (such as Uber, Lyft, TaskRabbit, Amazon Flex, DoorDash, Handy, Moonlighting, FLEXABLE, PeoplePerHour, Rover, Snagajob, TaskEasy, Upwork, and many more) to provide short-term service- producing work. Labor laws are a bad fit for this “gig economy.” New legal paradigms are needed. The rigid labor law classification of all workers as either “employees” (who get the entire bundle of benefits) or “independent contractors” (who get none) has led to many lawsuits attempting to redefine who is an “employee” in the gig economy. This issue grows larger as more than one-fifth of the workforce is now categorized as an independent contractor. Ironically, the requirement to provide a rigid bundle of benefits to employees has resulted in fewer workers receiving any benefits at all. ∗ Associate Professor, Duquesne University School of Law; Research Fellow and Program Affiliate Scholar, New York University School of Law; J.D., University of Chicago Law School; B.A., University of Florida.

  • 55 Model Platform Sharing Economy Di Indonesia Study Kasus
    Model Platform Sharing Economy di Indonesia Study Kasus: Unicorn Lokal Prayogi R. Saputra Universitas Islam Raden Rahmat, Indonesia, [email protected] Nur Hayatin Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang, Indonesia, [email protected] Abstract The sharing economy platform is a concept that is not yet stable and will continue to grow. This is evidenced by the various types of sharing economy platforms developed, especially in Indonesia. Many applications are made, but there are only a few applications that succeed in their business even reaching the Unicorn. They are Gojek, Traveloka, Tokopedia and Bukalapak. This study answers the question of how a typology of economic models sharing platforms in Indonesia is successful by taking the four unicorns as objects. The basic model of sharing economy used consists of four models taking into account the level of company control over participants and the level of competition between participants. Typology was developed through analysis of qualitative data obtained by observing the 4 Unicorn application which became the most successful platform in terms of user acquisition, active users, and transaction volumes. The theoretical contribution of this research is the sharing economic categorization model in Indonesia, considering that there is no research that presents the generic typology as intended. While the practical contribution is to provide a reference for beginners and investors about sharing economic models that are relevant for the Indonesian market. From the results of this study, we will know the typology model of a sharing economic platform that is developing in Indonesia, so it is expected to be a reference for business development towards the industrial revolution era 4.0.

  • Sharing Economy
    The Future of Work in the Sharing Economy What is the “sharing economy?” No official definition Generally organized around a technology platform that facilitates the exchange of goods, assets, and services between individuals across a varied and dynamic collection of sectors. Related terms include “collaborative economy,” “gig economy,” “on-demand economy,” “collaborative consumption,” or “peer-to-peer economy.” There are differences among these ideas, but substantial overlap in concept. Examples of companies that facilitate exchange of property or space: Airbnb (rent out a room or a house) RelayRides and Getaround (rent out a car) Liquid (rent a bike) Examples of companies that facilitate exchanges of labor: Uber and Lyft (get a ride or share a ride) Taskrabbit (on-demand labor for a wide variety of tasks) Handy (house cleaning and home repair) Instacart (on-demand grocery-shopping services) In 2013, the highest generating sectors within the sharing economy were peer-to-peer finance (money lending and crowd funding), exchange of space, transportation, services, and goods.1 Common Characteristics of Platforms Technology: The owner of the item or the laborer typically is connected directly to the consumer, either through the Internet or commonly through smartphone applications. Companies conceptualized as intermediaries: Companies and platforms in the sharing economy are conceptualized as peer-to-peer marketplaces, with the sharing company serving as an intermediary between the seller and the consumer. 1 Vision Critical and Crowd Companies, “Sharing is the New Buying,” March 2014, http://www.slideshare.net/jeremiah_owyang/sharingnewbuying?redirected_from=save_on_embed (accessed November 20, 2014). December 2, 2014 Price setting: Many companies do not dictate the price of the property or services that are being exchanged; workers/owners are able to set their own rates when using platforms such as TaskRabbit, Airbnb, Craigslist and Ebay.
