Following the adoption of the Directive (EU) 2024/2831 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2024 on improving working conditions in platform work, EUROGIP has published a Focus report that captures the full scope of this major piece of legislation, which is the result of intense negotiations since the European Commission’s initial proposal in December 2021.
This directive represents a historic step forward in the field of platform workers’ rights, with two main objectives: to introduce a presumption of employment for platform workers throughout the European Union and to establish rules, rights, and obligations in the area of algorithmic management. This regulation marks a European first by establishing standards of transparency and ethical management of algorithms in the world of work, although it is limited to digital platforms only.
EUROGIP’s Focus is essential for understanding this directive: it offers an analysis of the European Commission’s strategic objectives, traces the lengthy negotiations between Member States and institutions, details the key provisions of the final text, and assesses the expected effects on this rapidly expanding sector.
