The Seoul Metropolitan Government held a democratic consultation on“The Platform Economy and the Future of Labor” through its Public Opinion Committee from October to November 2020, and the results were submitted to the Seoul Metropolitan Government. In 2021, Seoul Metropolitan Government introduced the standard contracts for platform work and started to provide support for private insurance coverage in the Seoul area. As for Gyeonggi Province, the provincial government established a Task Force, which comprised three food delivery platform trade unions and nine companies as stakeholders, and concluded a social pact. As a result, since the latter half of 2021, the use of standard contracts, provision of legal consultations, creation of delivery accident prevention safety guidelines, expansion of industrial accident compensation insurance coverage and funding of insurance premiums(for 2,000 persons) took place. Legal Discourse on Platform Work and Delay in Legislation With the aim of realigning the necessary laws and institutions and the implementation thereof on site, so that people working in various forms of employment, including platform workers, can become autonomous and be protected, the Korean government and the National Assembly drafted“Four Bills Concerning the Platform Worker Protection.” As of the latter half of 2021, plans have been announced that the“Four Bills Concerning the Platform Worker Protection” will be used to prepare the institutional grounds to protect the platform workers. The four legislative bills have been submitted to the Standing Committee of the National Assembly, but due the divergent views of the ruling and opposition parties as well as the objections raised by the labor organizations, it is not clear whether the bills will get passed by the National Assembly.
