Descripción
The quarantine imposed in March 2020 shed light on the essential labour performed by digital delivery platforms’ workers and their precarious labour conditions. In order to protect them, seven draft bills were proposed to Congress in Argentina, oscillating between a salaried/independent classification of these workers. This article uses qualitative and quantitative data to analyse how these regulatory proposals deal with three dimensions that are at the center of workers’ own concerns when it comes to the regulation of the activity: the preservation of flexible schedules, the continuity of income self-regulation – even though this often means overworking – and the need to access effectively social protection – where the absence of occupational hazards insurance stands out.
La quarantaine imposée en mars 2020 a mis en lumière le travail essentiel effectué par les livreurs des plateformes numériques et leurs conditions de travail précaires. Afin de les protéger, sept projets de loi ont été proposés au Congrès en Argentine, oscillant entre une classification de salarié vs indépendant de ces travailleurs. Cet article utilise une méthodologie de type mixte pour analyser comment ces propositions de réglementation abordent trois dimensions qui sont au centre des préoccupations propres des travailleurs en matière de régulation de l’activité : le maintien d’horaires flexibles, la continuité de l’autorégulation des revenus – même si cela implique souvent du surmenage – et la nécessité d’accéder effectivement à une protection sociale – où se distingue l’absence d’assurance contre les risques professionnels.
