REACTION to the #PlatformWorkDirective from unions, academics and platforms.

🧵

braveneweurope.com/gig-economy-pr…
.@_aloisi and @valeriodeste give 👍, but with some reservations. More here: socialeurope.eu/european-commi…
The folks @TowardsFairWork also welcome the proposal, but have substantial criticisms. More here: fair.work/en/fw/blog/fai…
.@leilachaibi MEP, a key campaigner for a Directive, says the EU Commission proposal is "a major social advance for platform workers"
.@LudovicVoet of @etuc_ces says the Directive "ensures workers will now access rights", but says the platform lobbyists have been successful in making the employment status criteria "burdensome".
Stephen Cotton from @ITFglobalunion describes the Directive as a "landmark for raising standards of employment in the platform economy"
Uber and Bolt are both highly critical of the Directive, saying it puts "thousands of jobs at risk".
Delivery Hero's criticisms of the Directive are more nuanced, while Just Eat are strongly in favour.

We have read through a copy of the EU Commission’s Platform Work Directive, set to be officially announced shortly at a press conference.

Here are some of the key lines from the Directive. 🧵
“GUIDED BY THE FACTS”

On employment status, the determination shall “be guided primarily by the facts relating to the actual performance of work and notably the remuneration of the persons performing platform work, taking into account..."
"...the use of algorithms in the organisation of platform work, irrespective of how the relationship is classified in any contractual arrangement”.
