"This book provides an innovative perspective on labour law within the platform economy. Exploring mechanisms for the protection of platform work, the book covers judicial decisions on the classification of platform work, collective bargaining, social protection, and ownership of workers' personal data. The global workforce is undergoing immense change, particularly in relation to technology. This book delves into the rising issue of platform workers' personal data ownership and the equitable distribution of economic gains arising from its commercialization. Through comparing legislative frameworks and proposed laws from a diverse range of global jurisdictions, the book identifies optimal regulatory measures to safeguard the rights of platform workers. Furthermore, it anticipates the European Directive pertaining to platform work and envisages the essential components of an ideal International Labour Organization (ILO) standard in this domain. The book will be of interest to students and scholars in the field of worker's rights, the platform economy and labour law"-- Provided by publisher.
