Gig Economy Litigation Database
This database compiles and presents case law from around the world involving challenges to the status or rights of workers in the gig (or platform) economy. It includes litigation brought by individual workers, groups of workers and workers' organisations before judicial and quasi-judicial bodies against government or corporate actors. In addition to a summary of the facts, findings and outcome of each case, each database entry includes links to case documents and other publications of relevance for further reading.
The database aims to be a helpful resource for workers, workers' organisations, civil society and other actors. It provides a record of jurisprudence from which promising practices and successes, as well as shortcomings and lessons learned, can be drawn. It is informed by and forms part of BIICL's broader research on efforts to improve working conditions for, and promote the rights of, workers in the gig economy, in the context of BIICL's work on the GLP-Power project.
