美劳工部长拟把临时工界定为雇员 Uber及Lyft等股价受压
美国劳工部部长Marty Walsh接受《路透》访问时表示,美国大量临时工人(散工)应获得工作保障并被界定为雇员。他指美国政府正研究有关问题,又指大量案例显示临时工应界定为雇员,有关临时工在部分情况下未获尊重地对待,认为须一视同仁。他指当局未来数月将与聘用临时工的企业展开对话,确保工人获得稳定工资、病假、医保及美国工人应享有的权利。
在「零工经济」(gig economy)下,美国至2017年有5,500万名临时工,占整体劳动人口34%。据国际劳工组织估计,美国去年有43%劳动人口为临时工。美国劳工部的有关举措料将对美国劳工法例带来重大影响,包括职业安全及健康规定、超时补薪及员工福利的管理等。
受消息影响,雇用大量临时工企业的股价受压。召车服务公司优步(Uber)(UBER.US)及Lyft(LYFT.US)各跌6%及9.9%,餐饮外卖平台Doordash(DASH.US)及Grubhub(GRUB.US)各跌7.6%及4.2%。
