The Australian government has announced upcoming labor talks with the main actors in the gig economy, such as Uber, DoorDash, and various care providers, as part of its effort to ameliorate working conditions for gig workers. This recent labor reform initiative is partially due to increased pressure from organizations like the Transport Workers Union. The goal of the labor talks is to generate ways to protect gig workers from issues like the lack of worker compensation and minimum wage requirements. While many of the companies that will be present at the talks support the government's general goals, they have also expressed their interest in defending workers' autonomy to participate in the gig economy.
