Platform Regulation – The Road Ahead
Blog articles on what should be done about the future of Platform Work
In its plenary vote on February 2, the European Parliament approved the report on the platform work directive, proposed by the European Commision. It represents a significant milestone after months of negotiations, but there is still a long way to go before the directive gets approved. The Council of the European Union is expected to adopt its own position and thereby enable the closing trialogue (Commission, Parliament and Council) on the final text.
Nonetheless, the debate around the report was portrayed through opposed political and ideological views, leaving room for a broader analysis of the report text. Thus, we invited multiple expert stakeholders to react to the report through short blog posts. We strive to:
- Have an evaluation of the platform work directive report approved by the Parliament;
- Collect different views stemming from actors’ own position (e.g., being a company, trade union etc.), and
- Hear perspectives on what should be done going forward to advance good quality work and working conditions in the platform economy.
Blogs are part of our effort to provide a variety of actors with an opportunity to share their expertise and engage in informed and evidence-based dialogue.
