The thematic section is dedicated to the Commission proposal for a Directive on improving working conditions in platform work. The essays provide a critical analysis of the Commission proposal. The introductory contribution by Valerio De Stefano presents a general overview of the draft directive, pointing out its main shortcomings and suggesting some solutions to make it more effective. Christina Hießl deals with the classification of platform workers, offering a comprehensive review of national case law on which are based the subsequent considerations on the solution proposed by the Commission. Antonio Aloisi and Nastazja Potocka-Sionek consider the directive provisions regulating algorithmic management, while Marta Otto offers a focus on the interconnections between the provisions included in the draft Directive and the GDPR.
The final three articles investigate the regulative framework of the draft directive from a national perspective. Maria Giovannone and Maurizio Falsone consider it in the light of the peculiarities of the Italian legal system, while Marco Biasi eWilliam B. Gould IV offer a comparison of the legal presumption proposed in the Directive with the (only) apparently similar solution offered by the ABC-Test in the US.
