Historique

[Ecommerce Europe @Ecommerce_EU]

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

@GheorgheFalca rightly warning on the potential mischiefs of the current proposal.Improving working conditions for all will be done primarily through collective bargaining. Flexibility is today most valued by #platformworkers @EP_Transport @EPPGroup

[Gheorghe Falca @GheorgheFalca]

The proposal of the @EU_Commission on #platformwork and even more @Gualmini in @EMPL proposal could undermine the initial goals of the proposal: improving conditions for ALL #platform workers, preserve flexibility & innovation & benefit the EU platform economy @pieter_haeck

[Gheorghe Falca @GheorgheFalca]

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

[Delivery Platforms Europe @DPE_Europe]

Worthwhile read on platform work debate @skyttedal @GheorgheFalca @RomanaTomc @TomasZdechovsky @EPSocialAffairs @rmkanev @EPPGroup @EugenTomac

[Sara Skyttedal @skyttedal]

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

[Delivery Platforms Europe @DPE_Europe]

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

[Delivery Platforms Europe @DPE_Europe]

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

[Delivery Platforms Europe @DPE_Europe]

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

[Delivery Platforms Europe @DPE_Europe]

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

[Deliveroo @Deliveroo]

Couriers across Europe risk losing €800 million in income due to proposed EU-wide restrictions on platform work.

[Delivery Platforms Europe @DPE_Europe]

A proposed EU-wide policy shift forcing couriers to become employees could put 250,000 couriers out of work.

[Delivery Platforms Europe @DPE_Europe]

Couriers only earn half their income from delivery work, with most using platform work to top up incomes from other jobs.

[Delivery Platforms Europe @DPE_Europe]

A survey of 16,000 couriers found 67% access platform work for the flexibility to choose when, where and for whom they work.

Hundreds of thousands of people use food delivery platforms to fund their studies or top up their main income. Read more in the official report: https://t.co/aOjvopYrFL

[Delivery Platforms Europe @DPE_Europe]

The food-delivery ecosystem in Europe generated over €20bn revenues in 2020. This money meant restaurants could stay open and couriers could keep working throughout the pandemic.

[Delivery Platforms Europe @DPE_Europe]

The study also reveals the potential impact of any policy shift that removes flexibility - with as many as 250k people forced to give up platform work, 75k couriers pushed out of the workforce completely and more than €800m in income for these workers at risk.

[Delivery Platforms Europe @DPE_Europe]

A new survey of 16,000 couriers from Copenhagen Economics out today, reveals why flexibility allows 375k people to access work with #EU platforms every week, generating over €20bn in revenue for the economy.
