Platforms must provide contracted delivery workers with accident and liability insurance, and workers cannot deliver until insured, the draft says. Establishing a minimum wage, insurance and grievance mechanisms under the law would clarify the rights and responsibilities of platforms and delivery workers, Taiwan Delivery Industry Rights Promotion Alliance spokesperson Su Pai-hao (蘇柏豪) said. It not only protects workers’ rights, but is key to the healthy and sustainable growth of the industry, Su said.
