The Karnataka draft Bill seeks to protect the rights of platform-based gig workers and places obligations on aggregators in relation to social security, occupational health and safety of workers. The new draft aims to introduce safeguards against unfair dismissals, bring in a two-level grievance redressal mechanism for workers, and more transparency with regards to the automated monitoring and decision-making systems deployed by platforms.
Karnataka’s Labour Department has released a draft bill to protect gig workers, introducing a welfare fund, a dedicated board, safety guidelines, and hefty fines for violators.
This proactive step could set a new standard for gig worker protection in India
