Agreement reached on Platform Work Directive
On 11 March 2024, EU employment and social affairs ministers confirmed the provisional agreement reached between the European Parliament and the European Council on a new platform work directive. This was a somewhat surprising development, further to the agreement being blocked by a number of states last month. Platform workers are often referred to as "gig workers" and the term refers to those workers who are contracted to work for a digital platform, such as food delivery drivers and rideshare drivers, often as independent contractors.
