Abstract

The Directive on improving working conditions in platform work has been finally adopted by national labour ministers at the Council meeting on 11 March 2024. The Directive has the ambitious aim of improving the minimum standards recognised by European and national legislations for platform workers and advancing the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and algorithmic work management. Still pending its formal approval, the Authors offer a first analysis of the new provisions to regulate and protect platform work.
