Some brief reflections on the presumption of subordination in the “Platform Directive”

Abstract

The author offers a brief comment on the European Commission's proposal for a directive on improving working conditions in platform work, and on its impact in the European Union and Italian legal systems. In particular, the focus is on the 'legal presumption' that could be introduced to address the problem of misclassification of the labour relationship of the platform workers.
