Mexico addresses the regulation of platform workers such as Uber or Rappi
The Mexican government is taking an important step towards the regulation of platform workers, such as Uber or Rappi, in order to offer them job security. A reform to the Federal Labor Law could soon be applied in this segment
Mexico could soon apply a reform to the Federal Labor Law to formalize and dignify the performance of app workers, such as Uber and Rappi, unionized under the National Union of Application Workers (UNTA).
According to this union, the proposal recently presented by Claudia Sheinbaum’s government will help reduce the job insecurity of more than 658,000 digital platform employees.
Sergio Guerrero, UNTA’s general secretary, stressed that the reform of the Federal Labor Law will allow progress towards social coverage for workers and the recognition of their labor rights, social security, and the implementation of legislative improvements, among other benefits.
This type of work is a reality in other countries, where those who work as delivery people or make transfers await their formal inclusion in the laws to obtain the corresponding benefits and protection.
