The initiative of the European Commission for improving working conditions in platform work

Abstract

By December 2021, the European Commission presented a Proposal for a Directive on improving working conditions in platform work. Such activity was expected for quite some time. Platform work has been probably the most intensely debated element of “new work” at national and international level. Hopes and fears associated with digitization culminated in this work form due to a mostly unregulated operation of a business of broad conception and great heterogeneity.
