Mexico Senate approves gig economy reform, boosting labour rights for platform drivers

Mexico’s Senate has approved a reform to improve labour rights for gig economy workers, such as DiDi, Uber, and Rappi drivers. Set to take effect in six months, the reform provides access to health benefits, retirement savings, and job security, addressing the precarious conditions often faced in gig work. Mexico joins countries like Spain and Chile in strengthening protections for digital platform workers. This move signifies a commitment to workers’ rights in the digital age and aims to inspire other nations to adopt similar measures for global labour reform.
