In December the European Commission released a proposal that aims to improve the rights of platform workers.
We spoke with Julia Kermode (IWORK) and Lucas Stuurop (Lexence) to get their views on what this directive will mean for gig platforms and workers.
At CXC, we have long held the view that people who work through these digital platforms should be afforded sufficient protection. However, the EU has taken a blanket approach across all platform workers and has left little room for nuance.
