EU politicians want to strengthen the rights of people who do so-called platform work. This refers to people who work via an online platform, for example as an Uber driver, domestic worker or food delivery person.
Negotiators from the European Parliament and the EU states have now agreed that those affected should be better protected against bogus self-employment. According to the new rules, if there is evidence that employees are being monitored, it will be assumed that the employees are employees and not self-employed.
