4th Trade Union Platfor(u)m

On 25–26 September 2025, the fourth edition of the Trade Union Forum on Platform Work, organised by the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) with the support of FES Future of Work, will take place in Nicosia, Cyprus. The event is kindly hosted at the headquarters of our member organisation SEK Cyprus, with their generous support.

The conference will bring together over 100 trade unionists and gig workers from across Europe, along with representatives from civil society and politics.

This year’s Platfor(u)m comes at a crucial moment for platform work, as we mark one year into the transposition process of the Platform Work Directive—a process in which our members continue to play a pivotal role. And of course, this does not happen in a vacuum. Across Europe, workers are taking to the streets to demand decent working conditions, fair taxation of wealthy corporations, and an end to austerity measures that threaten pensions and public services. The Platforum remains a vital space to unite, strategise, and push for fairer rules in the platform economy.

The Platforum continues to grow, offering a programme that combines high-level exchanges with decision-makers and interactive workshops. These sessions bring together platform workers, trade unionists, academics, practitioners, and civil society to explore both persistent and emerging challenges—and the opportunities—for organising and securing rights in the platform economy.
