What needs to change for platform workers? (video)
By 2030, the number of platform workers in the European Union will increase to 42.7 million. However, national legal frameworks fail to grant workers through digital labour platforms their labour rights. In many cases, platform companies force workers into false self-employment. Many workers earn an hourly rate below the average.
It is urgent to act here and now to secure better protection for platform workers!
