Core Viewpoint - The revised safety production law emphasizes the need for platform economies and emerging industries to establish and implement comprehensive safety production responsibility systems, ensuring that all workers' rights are protected regardless of formal labor relationships [1][3][4]. Group 1: High Temperature Rights of New Employment Forms - The number of outdoor workers, including over 10 million delivery riders and 4 million express delivery personnel, highlights the growing concern for their rights during high-temperature conditions [1]. - Recent years have seen an improvement in the implementation of high-temperature allowances, expanding coverage to new employment forms [1][2]. - The issuance of high-temperature allowances is complicated by the lack of direct labor contracts between workers and platforms, leading to disputes over entitlement [3][4]. Group 2: Platform Responses and Initiatives - Platforms like Meituan have initiated emergency mechanisms to adjust delivery routes and provide additional compensation during high-temperature periods, distributing "heat prevention insurance" and care funds to over 3 million riders [2]. - Various platforms have adopted different measures to compensate outdoor workers for additional heat-related burdens, reflecting the unique characteristics of their industries [1][2]. Group 3: Legal and Regulatory Framework - The revised safety production law and other regulations clarify the responsibilities of platform enterprises regarding labor protection for new employment forms, particularly in extreme weather conditions [2][3]. - The judicial system has recognized the existence of labor relationships based on actual working conditions, even in the absence of formal contracts, which may impact the rights of new employment form workers [4]. Group 4: Challenges and Recommendations - Many platforms impose unreasonable conditions that limit workers' access to high-temperature allowances, raising questions about the fairness and legality of these practices [5]. - Experts suggest that platforms should develop diverse and transparent methods for distributing high-temperature allowances, ensuring that workers' rights are effectively safeguarded [5][6]. - Some regions, like Guangdong, have implemented specific policies providing monthly high-temperature allowances to eligible workers, demonstrating a proactive approach to labor protection [5].
