BEIJING (Reuters) – China urged platform companies to protect the rights of gig workers, according to a joint statement issued the human resources ministry and other ministries on Tuesday, after a meeting between regulators and the companies last Friday.
The 11 companies that took part included take-out delivery platforms Meituan, ele.me and ride-hailing firm Didi Global, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said on its website.
