Overview
- Labor Minister Walter Correa said Monday the province has a finalized bill to regulate digital platform work and will submit it once the Chamber of Deputies forms its Labor Committee.
- The proposal creates a provincial registry and a MiPBA-linked mobile app to enroll workers, offer services, and add a panic button plus medical emergency access.
- Platform companies would be required to purchase accident insurance that covers death, disability, and medical care during work hours and commutes.
- The draft orders firms to report active profiles, average hours, and estimated incomes, and it strengthens oversight with inspections of closed distribution hubs and free municipal rest stops with water and storage.
- Officials frame the plan as closing a legal gap, point to a Buenos Aires Supreme Court ruling that upheld fines on platforms as precedent, and note a parallel national bill from Deputy Hugo Moyano.
