Some corporations derive a huge benefit from the gig economy - either as a central part of their business (Uber drivers) or enticing more customers from competitors (Amazon with great a delivery service).
The losses on the gig worker (benefits, holiday entitlement, etc.) need to be borne by someone - and it doesn't make sense, in my view, to make either the gig work or the government (the wider public) pay for it.
I would suggest that all companies using gig workers (anyone doing work for a corporation without a proper employment contract) need to pay in to a mandatory fund to cover the lost benefits. To me its obvious that the cost should be borne by whoever is extracting the greatest benefit.
