FILIPINO platform workers—or those employed by digital apps that serve as middle men between customers and a service—have been widely hailed for their indispensable role in the pandemic, helping people surmount lockdown restrictions by bringing them most of the daily essentials like food, water, medicine, groceries, documents, and even feel-good treats for the Covid-weary, like plants.
These five principles are: Fair Pay, Fair Conditions, Fair Contracts, Fair Management, and Fair Representation. Each principle corresponds to two points to achieve a perfect fairness score of 10. Fairwork’s research showed that no platform studied ensured that workers earn at least the daily minimum wage of P537 per day after work-related costs.
“We say here that platform labor does appear as an opportunity for workers, but it also tells us the broader labor conditions,” she said.THE research also found that only four platforms, GrabCar, GrabFood/Express, Angkas and Lalamove have employed certain practices to protect workers from risks associated with their jobs.
The study found that benefits beyond direct task-specific risks such as educational and calamity assistance and sick pay are not available for platform workers, providing them with no “safety net to safeguard workers in cases of inability to work due to illness or an accident.” Lastly, Fairwork found that no platform “assured freedom of association and the expression of collective worker voice.”
