Organizing temporary agency workers has been for long a formidable challenge to any sector across the all industries. It is seemingly attributed to the nature of work that workers keep on moving in search of better paid jobs, as higher wages matter to them. It is not a career job and does not build the comradery with other workers.
The platform-oriented labor in which temporary agency workers like uber taxi drivers and parcel delivery service self-employed workers use the smart-phone apps and social network service(SNS) comes as a more formidable challenge upon the organizing work for the protection of their vulnerable labor rights and working conditions.
The forum is focused on the abrogation of the 'Act on the Protection of Dispatched Workers' and abolition of indirect employment practice.
