This open-access book offers a comprehensive guide on designing labor rights that effectively safeguard digital platform workers, establish accountability on digital work platforms, and ensure collective representation and action. Recognizing the significant risks associated with digital work platforms, the book highlights the urgent need for reconstruction in labor law. It delves into the overlooked conceptual connections between labor law categories and their regulatory approaches, shedding light on the organizational ideas that permeate these categories and their policy implications across various jurisdictions. The book's analysis reveals a significant mismatch between traditional concepts of labor law and the realities of digital platform work. Digital work platforms, unlike traditional hierarchical organizations, operate more as market organizers.

The book provides a fresh perspective for international academic and policy debates on the regulation of digital work platforms and the purposes and foundations of labor law. It offers a way out of the impasse the debate around labor law classification has reached by exploring what labor law can learn from digital law approaches to platforms and vice versa.
