China moves to protect food delivery drivers from digital exploitation

The guidelines are designed to protect basic labour rights for riders, including a base income, work safety, food safety, and a decent working environment.

Chinese regulators have ordered online platforms to ensure food delivery riders earn above the country’s minimum wage, that riders be freed from unreasonable demands placed upon them by algorithms, and that these workers have access to social security and a place in a union, in a likely financial blow to big delivery services companies such as Meituan.

The new proposed regulation to require all tutoring companies be non-profit that kill off a billionaire (losing 15 billion $) overnight and now this, hope China can keep this up :xi-clap:.

    I remember an article a few months back talking about how a party official went under cover doing delivery driving and came out saying this is bad. I'm wondering if this came from that.
