About
We live in increasingly digitalised world.
Digital technologies facilitate innovation, expand consumer choices, and create new jobs that promise greater flexibility and autonomy. However, we need to ensure that work practices in digital platforms respect good working and employment standards. New working forms cannot be an excuse for social dumping and all workers must enjoy the same rights: no job without a contract, no job without a fair salary, and a ban on fake self-employment.
On 28 October, the PES organised a discussion on “Platform work: time to deliver rights”. The debate focused on ways of improving platform workers’ conditions, putting forward our proposals to integrate non-standard work into our social protection systems.
