Rationale

Gig workers deserve full employee rights to ensure fair wages and security, while mandatory union membership strengthens collective bargaining for all workers. It's time to protect the workers, the majority against the 1%, and those who vote against will clearly lose the worker's vote.

Proposed Changes

1

Gig Economy & Platform Workers
Previous law
Basic protections (minimum pay, accident insurance) for gig workers
Gig workers classified as employees with full rights (sick pay, holiday, pensions)

2

Trade Union Rights
Previous law
Full collective bargaining and strike rights
Mandatory union membership for all workers (closed shop)
