On 11 November 2024, Directive (EU) 2024/2831 aimed at improving the working conditions of workers on digital platforms was published in the Official Journal of the European Union. It is intended to respond to the challenges posed by the digital economy and the need to adapt existing regulations to new forms of work.
The main changes introduced by this text include:
- The introduction of measures to clarify the professional status of platform workers, who are often incorrectly referred to as self-employed, and guarantee fair access to employment rights and social protection.
- Rules to increase transparency and allow human control over the decisions made by the algorithms that platforms use to manage tasks.
- Strengthening the protection of workers’ personal data, in line with the RGPD, by guaranteeing lawful and transparent processing.
- Workers must be clearly informed of their rights and obligations, with access to an effective dispute resolution system. The directive also aims to prevent precarious working conditions and promote equal treatment.
