플랫폼노동종사자의 조직화 형태에 대한 해외사례 연구와 시사점

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology and the recent Corona 19 pandemic have accelerated the trend of ‘untouch’ environment. The platform labor for such as food delivery, chauffeur service, and care labor has become the biggest concern to national industrial relations. However, the platform workers have not been treated as workers under the Labor Standard Act in Korea due to the characteristics such as non-conformity of employment, independence of work performance, and place and time autonomy in providing labor. Inspite of difficulties of platform workers such as low income levels and lack of social insurance systems, it is difficult to find a proper way to rescue their rights. They need to gather collective voices through the labor unions or voluntarily organized associations. However, in Korea, neither labor union nor voluntary association is emerged yet. Therefore, this study summarizes the definition and type of platform labor studied in Korea and abroad so far, and examines the current status of the organization of platform labor workers in Korea and in advanced countries. And based on the case studies for representing platform workers, implications are presented to platform workers, platform-based companies, and the government.
