Early signals indicate that tomorrow's European Commission proposal on the platform work will in part make good on their promise to improve the working conditions of platform workers. ETF reacts...

Despite unions' warnings against further deterioration of already substandard working conditions in on-demand passenger transport, the Slovenian government stays intent on opening its doors to ride-hailing apps under the pretence of "modernisation". But the ETF and Slovenian union, SDPZ know better.

The ETF proves that fair platform work is possible in its six-step manifesto. Fulfilling this vision requires platform companies to assume their responsibilities as employers and finally admit their workers are employees. Meaning they must adhere to regulations in place and ending their business model based on bogus self-employment and circumvention of labour and fiscal laws.

Danish trade union 3F and the employers’ organisation Dansk Erhverv reached a national sectoral agreement covering Just Eat's Riders. But this victory is only the beginning: '3F and the European trade union movement will not stop fighting for platform workers’ rights!'
