Economy Minister Sergio Massa announced on Tuesday that delivery app workers will be able to access free insurance as of December 15 through the state-owned Banco Nación’s insurance company, Nación Seguros. The Economy Ministry will later analyze the results to write a bill regulating the sector together with the workers and companies. In September, Ramiro Marra, La Libertad Avanza (LLA)’s erstwhile mayoral candidate for Buenos Aires met with gig workers to discuss their situation. The Herald spoke with gig workers about the recently-announced measures. “One has a perspective that wants to keep labor deregulated and unprotected, the other from a perspective that seeks to gain labor rights,” said Ottaviano.
