Uberisation influencing working conditions: Rights, regulation and redistribution in Helsinki, St Petersburg and London (RRR Uber) – this is a research project lead by Prof. Meri Koivusalo at the University of Tampere and it is funded by the The Academy of Finland, 2019-2021
Kesällä tutkimusryhmämme haastatteli #taksi yrittäjät. On tärkeä että @helsinki kaupunki puuttuu tilanteeseen ja tarjoaa kuskeille selkeät säännöt, esim. lentoaseman malilla onnistuttiin luomaan turvalliset puitteet taksien valinnanvapaudelle. @iltasanomat

Näyttää siltä, että viranomaisten olisi tarpeellista tukea tilannetta Helsingin rautatieasemalla. Selkeät käytännöt ja hyvät tavat voivat lisätä turvallisuuden tunnetta ja myös vähentää rasismia. #taksi #Helsinki #asemaaukio @iltasanomat https://www.is.fi/taloussanomat/art-2000006676589.html
The emergence of new forms of platform economies, such as Uber, has disrupted the basis and context of regulation in taxi passenger services. This research project examines to what extent regulatory and legal context has shaped how Uber has become established in three cities: Helsinki, st Petersburg and London. We will interview experiences of drivers in each of the cities and will examine the overall operational context. We then look at regional and global context of regulation and how and on what basis lessons may be learned across countries. The aim of our research is to understand better the relationship between “uberisation” and national and local regulatory practices as well as to examine and analyse to what extent and how new platform economies could be used to enhance social protection in the informal sector. Furthermore we ask if and how new platform economies could – intendely or unintendedly – contribute to globalisation of social rights.
