| Title | Constitutionalizing Labour Relations in the Gig Economy: A Critical Comparative of Labour Law on a Global Scale |
| Summary | This thesis is an invitation to “constit utionalize 1d; labour relations in the gig economy through a comparative constitutional law perspective in order to respond to the present-day labour crises of constantly emerging, novel labour relations within the neo-liberal, globalized economy. The process of constitutionalization is a methodological tool that can be used to respond to this crisis, in order to establish sustainable labour rights for these emerging relations. “Constit utionalization& #x201d; here is an expansive way of thinking about constitutional rights with pertinence to labour rights – it is not only referring to constitutional principles, text, values and jurisprudence but calls to an older idea of “labour constitution” – which allows for collective bargaining rights to balance the power between the “capital” and the “labour”, irrespective of the forms that these two sides can take. The aim here is to transcend the traditional binary of employer-employee relationships that confines itself to classical labour law and use the process of constitutionalization in order to afford rights to gig workers as well. Since the gig economy is an inherently global issue, there is intrinsic value in using a comparative constitutional methodology to locate gig workers’ rights on a global scale. Using India and the European Union as the two polities of comparison – this thesis seeks to defend that the establishment of a socio-democratic constitutionalism is essential to ensure that an “economic constitution” is viable – both in the Global North and the Global South. |
