    Collective Bargaining and the Gig Economy: Actors

    The development of digital platforms has led to the beginning of collective labour issues. As new actors struggle to find their place, traditional trade unions have also adapted their activities to include gig workers in their scope.

    The Right to Collective Bargaining of the Self-Employed at New Digital Economy

    The devastating impact of the "relocation" of the means of production, as an instrument used by the employer to minimize "labor costs", has reached its highest expression in the so-called "fourth industrial revolution". The proliferation of the so-called "atypical workers" and, in a very significant way, of the "false self-employed workers" has caused an important breach of social cohesion and the "de-unionization" of collective bargaining. The recent legal conflicts around these issues make it very important to establish the legality applicable to these new subjects in the field of labor relations, especially in regard to their collective bargaining rights and their coexistence with the right to free competition. The social dialogue must play a leading role in the processes of transition to the digital economy.

    Collective Bargaining for Platform Workers: a Hope for new Developments?

    The paper is about the possible responses of collective bargaining to digital platforms' development. Collective bargaining, apart from pay negotiations, may also lead to reducing the level of surveillance, improving working conditions, regulating portability of ratings, conflict resolution, privacy, data protection and deactivation. Algorithmic management is based on data collected from workers. The data as well as automated negotiation process could be used to the workers' benefit by trade unions.
