The All-China Federation of Trade Unions on the 20th released its '15th
Five-Year' work plan, directing sustained efforts over the next five years to
organize, enroll and protect workers in new forms of employment—notably delivery
riders—and provide targeted services. The plan orders unions to strengthen
rights protection and employment management for gig workers and to promote
platform companies' participation in collective bargaining to achieve mutually
beneficial outcomes between platforms and new-form workers.
