Together with 16 other associations, we raise concerns on a withdrawal button for all distance contracts. The text should:
✔️ Follow a principle-based approach
✔️ Avoid one-size-fits-all, prescriptive rules
✔️ Leave leeway for withdrawals fitting to different business models

Focusing only on employment status will not improve the working conditions of those who choose flexible working conditions. A modern EU framework should aim to ensure better working conditions for ALL workers! @EP_Transport @EPSocialAffairs
Worthwhile read on platform work debate @skyttedal @GheorgheFalca @RomanaTomc @TomasZdechovsky @EPSocialAffairs @rmkanev @EPPGroup @EugenTomac
Rules on platform work must affirm the digital transition, target bogus self-employment and protect the rights of the genuinely self-employed. Writing today in @POLITICOEurope together with @EPPGroup colleagues in the @EPSocialAffairs

In @EPSocialAffairs @Laurinkari on behalf of DPE welcomed the EC proposal directive to improve working conditions of platform workers: it has the potential to set global standards, to create legal certainty and to address misclassification. @NicolasSchmitEU
Flexibility is the main reason for couriers to work with platforms - several studies have shown. Yet, the views of platform workers are not heard by the proposal of the EC. Forcing genuinely self-employed into employment is a massive attack on the platform economy @gualminielisa
We need clear criteria based on case-law&allow for a combination of collective bargaining and voluntary measures so that platforms can compete to offer the best conditions to self-employed couriers.@LNicholsonova @MarianneVind @AnnaZalewskaMEP
Great achievement of social dialogue shows that improving working conditions in platform work while ensuring flexibility offered by self employed is possible @gualminielisa @MarianneVind @GheorgheFalca @RadtkeMdEP @LNicholsonova @AnnaZalewskaMEP @NicolasSchmitEU @Europe2022FR
We are delighted to announce this first-of-its-kind partnership with @GMB_Union which will support our riders, focused on rider safety, security, wellbeing and diversity. 💙🚴
