Hindu Editorial Vocab On Karnataka Workers Bill<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For India\u2019s gig workers, who are increasing in numbers but are perched precariously (in a way that is likely to fall, be damaged, fail, etc<\/strong>) <\/strong>on the edge of the unregulated labour pool, the Karnataka Platform-based Gig Workers (Social Security and Welfare) Bill, 2024, offers a welcome reprieve, but still stops short of providing them with the security of being employees. When app-based gig work was introduced a decade ago, courtesy ride-sharing and food delivery apps, the absence of the word \u2018employee\u2019 was actually seen as a positive; it supposedly offered a chance for \u2018partners\u2019 to retain (to keep or continue to have something<\/strong>) <\/strong>their autonomy and earn good money without being locked into a contract with rigid timings. That illusion soon dissolved as incomes crashed and working hours lengthened, and the lack of a formal \u2018employee\u2019 status left workers at the mercy of the aggregator and all-powerful algorithms, in the absence of safety nets or governmental regulation<\/strong> (to control something, especially by making it work in a particular way<\/strong>). Despite this, the gig economy is growing. According to a NITI Aayog report, India had 77 lakh gig workers at the beginning of the decade, and by 2029-30, they are projected (planned for the future or calculated based on information already known<\/strong>) <\/strong>to account for 4.1% of income, and 6.7% of the non-agricultural workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rights-based legislation, the draft Bill aims to prevent arbitrary dismissals<\/strong> (the situation in which an employer officially makes someone leave their job<\/strong>), provide human grievance redress mechanisms, and to bring more transparency (the quality of being done in an open way without secrets<\/strong>) <\/strong>into the opaque tangle of automated monitoring and algorithm-based payments. It is a step up from the Union government\u2019s Code on Social Security, 2020. Karnataka\u2019s law also offers social security through a welfare board and fund, with contributions from the government and the aggregator, either through a cut from every transaction<\/strong> (an occasion when someone buys or sells something, or when money is exchanged or the activity of buying or selling something<\/strong>) on the app, or as a percentage of the platform\u2019s turnover in the State. Noting that many of the firms that own these platforms report minimal profits, workers\u2019 unions have rightly demanded that the welfare fee is charged as a cess on each transaction. Sceptics note the moribund nature of other unorganised sector welfare boards, but one advantage of mandatory (made necessary, usually by law or by some other rule<\/strong>) <\/strong>registration with such a board is that it will make gig workers visible in the eyes of the law. Karnataka\u2019s Congress government aims to enact the Bill in the monsoon session of the Assembly, and it must quickly formulate rules and establish the welfare board to ensure that the law is in force before the end of the year. A similar legislation (a law or set of laws suggested by a government and made official by a parliament<\/strong>) <\/strong>in Rajasthan, enacted by the predecessor Congress government, has been effectively put into cold storage by the BJP government. At the national level, comprehensive legislation is needed not just to set minimum wages, reasonable working hours and conditions and robust (of a person or animal) strong and healthy, or (of an object or system) strong and unlikely to break or fail) <\/strong>social security but also to provide gig workers with the coveted status of \u2018employees\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
