I remember when everyone was talking how we would all be gig workers and it was going to be the best thing ever. I am eagerly awaiting seeing whose legal department if any poop their pants tomorrow. Maybe if we're lucky we'll even see an 8-K soon.

some countries do a better job of protecting their population from corp psychopath companies. Australia is one.

but its not enough and the moment the right wing side of Gov gets in they start rolling back a lot of the labor law protections the left wing work at putting in.

The average gig worker here is a migrant, hard to see how that is protecting Australians.

no its more about protecting the people from the corps. not protecting the locals from the immigrants.

Arguably, the latter isn't really a labor law issue, its an immigration quota issue.

Immigration quotas should probably be considered part of labor laws though, given the impact immigration can have on wages and the job/housing market for natives.
