Today, Ministers from EU member states exchanged on the future of platform workers and agreed on new rules.
When it comes to the Directive on improving the working conditions in platform work, the European Tech Alliance (EUTA)’s aim is to enable European online services to flourish and for platform workers to have fair working conditions.
The following can be attributed to EUTA Secretary General, Victoria de Posson:
“The text agreed today will allow Member States the flexibility to set in place rules which work for their labour market. However, it will result in 27 different sets of rules across the Member States which begs the question of the value of this EU Directive. Transposition will be critical to ensure that this critical legislation brings as much clarity as possible.”
