Platform work / work-on-demand via app Part of the ‘collaborative economy’ Profit Uber Deliveroo Helpling … Non-profit Goods Services Jean Monnet Seminar June 2018

Characteristics ‘work-on-demand via app’ Work is performed in person (physically, not online) At least three parties Various contractual frameworks An app is involved The app adds something (usually an algorithm) Jean Monnet Seminar June 2018

Work-on-demand via app Roughly three positions for the platform: Digital bulletin board Intermediary between worker and consumer Co-contracting party of the worker (employer or commissioning party) Jean Monnet Seminar June 2018

Implications for Labour Law Twofold challenge: How to deal with platform work in the current legal framework? Does platform work invoke a paradigm shift in labour law? Jean Monnet Seminar June 2018

EU & Platform work: Digital Single Market The EU in 2015 General Report on the Activities of the European Union, p.22 Jean Monnet Seminar June 2018

Public consultation on the Regulatory environment for Platforms, Online Intermediaries and the Collaborative Economy, 25 may 2016 Online platforms “are driving innovation, facilitating social interactions, and are powerful engines of growth” “Uncertainty about the employment status, i.e. whether providers are self- employed or employees, was also mentioned.” Jean Monnet Seminar June 2018

Agenda for collaborative economy, June 2016 (EC) More employment opportunities Revenues beyond traditional employment relationships Enables flexibility for workers Increasingly blurred boundaries Reference to Social Pillar Relevance EU definition of worker Jean Monnet Seminar June 2018

ECJ: Uber cases ECJ 20 December 2017 (C-434/15) Asociación Profesional Élite Taxi/Uber Systems Spain SL ECJ 10 April 2018 (C-320/16) Uber France SAS In short: Uber (pop) is a transportation service and not a technology service Jean Monnet Seminar June 2018

ECJ: Uber cases Main element of combining service is transport because: Not only intermediating, but also rendering the transport accessible What if Uber expands to other services? (already: food delivery) What about the Digital Single Market and the stimulation of the platforms as economic drivers? Jean Monnet Seminar June 2018

EU and Platform work Classic… But also... Digital Single Market Social Policy Entrepreneur Employee Transnational (Global) Local Jean Monnet Seminar June 2018

EU and possible regulation? Competence? On the classification only with respect to the legislation that doesn’t refer to the national notion of employee If classified as employee: competent on the subjects of 153 TFEU If not classified as employee: broader social policy / soft law Jean Monnet Seminar June 2018

EU and possible regulation? Social Pillar ‘ Everyone’ is entitled to Training Active support to employment (transfer of rights) Fair working conditions ‘regardless of the type of employment relation’ Social protection Pension for self-employed Jean Monnet Seminar June 2018

Food for thought Platform work needs to be classified or regulated (?) Subsidiarity might be an issue for EU regulations EU might get stuck between the aims regarding the Digital Single Market and Social Policy Jean Monnet Seminar June 2018
