The Path of Labor Relations Identification under the Background of Platform Economy from the Perspective of Labor Control
The development of the platform economy inevitably accompanies the recognition of legal relation-ships between platforms and gig workers.In judicial practice,there remains controversy over whether they con-stitute an employment relationship,primarily due to the outdated nature of traditional models for determining labor relations.Theoretical bases such as"quasi-employment,""independent contractors,"and"quasi-employ-ees"imported from other countries still lack sufficient force.From the perspective of labor control,platform control elements over gig workers include technological,legal,and ideological controls.Based on this founda-tion,the platform-dominant monitoring and proprietary systems,as well as the autonomous strategies formed by gig workers,should constitute the factual basis for determining platform economy labor relations.In deter-mining the specific paths of platform economy labor relations,it is necessary to accurately determine the factual basis of these relationships and distinguish them from situations such as"civil services","cooperative employ-ment",and"incomplete compliance with established labor relationship criteria".It is also essential to return to attributes and revise traditional models for determining labor relations.Regarding returning to attributes,spe-cific types of attributes should be distinguished,and the respective weights of personal attributes,economic at-tributes,and organizational attributes in labor relations should be clarified.
