Workers won 35 out of 59 court cases in eight EU member states demanding recognition of their status as employees of corporations like Uber and Deliveroo.
Online platforms have fought to maintain riders under false self-employment, denying them basic rights like working hours, annual leave and social security payments, while exercising significant control over their labour through use of advanced algorithms.
The study launched today also found that trade unions have increasingly taken on the cause of gig economy workers alongside emerging grassroots mobilisations outside the traditional structures. Between 2016 and 2017 there was a wave of some 40 strikes in 15 countries across Europe in the bicycle meal delivery sector in response to cuts in service rates. Many of the protests were coordinated transnationally.
The study authors, Anne Dufresne and Cédric Leterme, warn against the creation of a third status for platform workers, highlighting the importance of court victories particularly in Spain, in light of the Digital Services Act and the prospect of a Commission Directive to regulate labour in the gig economy. | | En ligne : | https://left.eu/issues/publications/app-workers-united-the-struggle-for-rights-i [...] |
