EU MOVES TO IMPROVE WORKING CONDITIONS IN PLATFORM WORK: A LOOK INTO THE PROPOSED DIRECTIVE

This article discusses the proposal for a “directive of the European Parliament and of the European Council on improving work conditions in platform work”. The Proposal aims to create crosssectoral equality for all platform workers. The proposal includes: legal certainty and predictability regarding the legal status of workers in labour platforms; better communication arrangements for workers among labour platforms, and more accessible unionisation for platform workers; increased legal certainty and accountability for algorithmic management. Nevertheless, the Proposal also faces particular challenges on applicability.
