New Forms of Employment, Labor Relations, Internet Platform EconomyAbstract
With the rapid development of the times, new economic forms emerge endlessly, and more and more people are seeking work and rewards through the platform economy. The concept of "ride-hailing" has quickly entered people's sight due to its speed and high comfort level. However, due to the imperfections of the platform economy and the virtual nature of the internet, issues faced by "ride-hailing drivers" continue to emerge: lack of signed labor contracts, difficulty in guaranteeing rest time, inadequate labor laws, etc., naturally causing certain negative impacts on the new economic industry. In this article, we will discuss the issues of labor relations under the platform economy from the perspective of "ride-hailing drivers" and propose reasonable governance measures.
