At the end of the meeting, Minister Mieres gave statements to the press. Regarding those who work through applications, he recalled that a bill was presented at the end of 2022, and on Wednesday, April 17, it was presented again.
"At this time, platform workers, to the extent that the majority of them are self-employed, that is, they work as sole proprietors, do not provide us with a legal framework that allows us to inspect working conditions, verify that they are paid above the salary national minimum, etc.", expressed the minister.
"We insist on the initiative that was presented by the Executive Branch, which establishes that regardless of whether they are dependents or not, there can be regulations that allow us to give guarantees and protection of rights to these workers," he stated.
