SUMMARY:TOWARDS A FAIRER PLATFORM WORK: POLICY PROCESSES AND SOCIAL DEMANDS
DESCRIPTION:Seminar funded by the COST Action Platform Work Inclusion Living Lab with the support of Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli and Horizon Europe INCA project. \nRising at the crossroads between waged labour and self-employment\, very often positioned in the labour law grey areas of the legislative systems of European countries\, platform work is the subject of a deep and variegated debate with respect to the type of regulatory intervention to put in place in order to guarantee\, at the same time\, a development of the sector and the protection of workers. \nWhile the awareness that regulatory intervention is necessary seems to have settled – both at academic and public policy level – there are still sharp differences as to how. \nThere is a renewed role of public institutions – from municipalities to states – in favouring collective bargaining between companies and platforms\, as well as in defining regulations on different scales. Local experiments were followed by several legislative initiatives at national level (Italy\, Spain). To these\, the proposal for a European directive (2021) that is still under discussion must be added. \nAlongside these initiatives\, platform workers’ mobilisations continued in some sectors\, in particular in the food delivery. In some cases\, e.g.\, that of the Takeaway group\, the trade unions signed collective agreements with the companies\, settling the construction of a more stable system of industrial relations. \nThe effects and evaluations of these initiatives are manifold; in some cases\, they have profoundly changed platform work\, in other cases they have struggled to find effective implementation or have been strongly opposed by workers or companies. \nThe seminar will consider both policy initiatives (top-down) promoted by national and European institutions\, and company agreements and demands (bottom-up) expressed by workers’ mobilisations. \nFormat\nParticipation is free but under registration by 9 October 2023. Fill the form at the following link: https://forms.gle/CNiT8igzyVCq52d58 \nThen you will receive an official email invitation by the COST Action P-WILL you will have to accept. \nIt will be possible to participate both online (Zoom) or in person. \nThe seminar will be organised around 4 sessions – 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon – concentrated in a single day. \nThe morning sessions will focus on legislative initiatives (top-down) promoted by national and European institutions\, the afternoon session on company agreements and demands (bottom-up) expressed by workers’ mobilisations. \nThe contributions will address the following topics: \n\nDo legislative proposals have to be focused exclusively on platform work or work in general?\nIs it enough to define one European legislative initiative for all platform workers or do we need multiple laws tailored to the different categories of platform workers?\nHow in force legislations affected platform work? Did they improve working conditions and social protections?\nIs the EU directive a promising solution? Which are its value and its potential risks?\nWhat strategies of resistance and mobilisation (formal and informal) can we identify in the context of platform work? Are they adequately supported by the existing legislation/practices?\nWhich real life examples of resistance and mobilisation in platform work can we draw from?\nHow decolonial and feminist perspectives may help to better understand workers’ claims and protests?\nAre industrial relations strong enough to self-regulate platform work? May we appoint some collective agreements as best practices?\n\nAgenda\n9:30-10:00 Welcome and introduction  \nMaurilio Pirone (University of Bologna) \n10:00- 11:30 The path towards a EU Directive on platform work \nChair: Guido Smorto (University of Palermo) \n\nClass actors and dynamics influencing the EU Platform Work Directive\n\nBen Wray (Gig Economy Project) \n\nA feminist critique of the EU directive\n\nNelli Kambouri (National Hellenic Research Centre\, online) \n\nThe power of lobbying\n\nEdoardo Mollona (University di Bologna) \n11:30-12:00 Break \n12:00-13:30 Innovating policies \nChair: Mattia Frapporti (University of Bologna) \n\nRight to disconnect \n\nKosjenka Dumančić (University of Zagreb) \n\nWhat law for domestic platform workers?
