Workers Protection Act of 2012
Rationale
The Workers Protection Act seeks to address the growing imbalance in labour rights created by the rise of the gig economy. While flexible work offers benefits, many gig workers currently lack basic protections such as minimum wage guarantees, sick pay, holiday entitlement, and job security.
