The digital revolution of the Uber Economy. Redefining employment relations
description
The present study focuses on the figure of gig workers in digital platforms such as Uber or Deliveroo and the necessity for a specific regulation that adjusts to the particularities of these new work relations. The above to prevent the lack of certainty regarding their legal status. Following how courts and tribunals in the UK (common law) have sought to redefine and adequate the concept of subordination and dependence, this work seeks to analyse how those elements have been interpreted to apply or not the regulation of the traditional employment figure to the new work relations that digital platforms have created. These most recent decisions demonstrate that this is not a settled topic. The current tools available to judges are insufficient to provide either certainty or security to gig workers, as this new form of labour relations does not fully present the traditional characteristics of subordination and dependence. However, they also demonstrate the need for effective regulation that responds to the demands and interests of these new workers so as not to discourage the creation of new sources of employment by regulating essential aspects such as social and health security.

Lo anterior, para efectos de prevenir la falta de certeza en relación con el estatus legal de aquellos. Siguiendo como los tribunales en Reino Unido (Common Law) han buscado la manera de redefinir y adecuar el concepto de subordinación y dependencia, este trabajo busca analizar cómo aquellos elementos han sido interpretados para efectos de determinar si aplicar o no la regulación tradicional de las relaciones laborales a las nuevas formas de trabajo que las plataformas digitales han creado. Estos fallos recientes demuestran que no es un tema resuelto. Las herramientas actuales para los tribunales son insuficientes para proveer tanto de certeza como de seguridad a los “Gig Workers” toda vez que estas nuevas formas de trabajo no representan totalmente las características tradicionales de subordinación y dependencia. Sin embargo, aquellas también demuestran la necesidad de una regulación efectiva que responda a las demandas e intereses de este nuevo tipo de trabajadores en materias de seguridad social, pero de manera tal de no desincentivar la creación de nuevas formas de trabajo.2022text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=8944388(Revista) ISSN 0719-7942Revista Jurídica Digital UANDES, ISSN 0719-7942, Vol. 6, Nº. 1, 2022, pags. 1-21engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
