🗣️Working people have already waited two years for this directive to be implemented and should not be made to wait any longer. National governments should stop dragging their heels and finally turn these promises into a reality - @TeaJarc

Are #PlatformWorkers willing to unionise? 💡 Unionisation rates are actually quite similar to the conventional economy Agnieszka Piasna presents her @ilo study, co-written with fellow ETUI senior researchers @KurtVandaele and @WZwysen, at the @etuc_ces Platfor(u)m event on organising #PlatformWorkers 📱✊ Read the paper here 🔗 ilo.org/publications/are-pla… The study is based on the findings of the ETUI Internet and Platform Work Survey, which you find out more about here 🔗 etui.org/Z8i

"We gather today in Paris, symbolically, because France was one of the two countries opposing the Platform Work directive until the very end" @TeaJarc "We call on all member States to transpose it and implement it in close dialogue with social partners, notably trade unions"

Replying to @WorkersEESC @BusinessEurope
"The main shortcoming of the directive is that it will not stop unpaid traineeships, and this will not convince young people that the EU is delivering for them." @TeaJarc, Confederal Secretary of the @etuc_ces

💪@TeaJarc No young worker can afford to work for free; unpaid traineeships cannot be used as cheap labour! Without enforcement the Traineeship Directive depends on the goodwill of business....

Young people cannot be treated differently just because they are young. We need to guarantee them the same rights & pay as other employees. Equal rights and fair pay are non-negotiable for young talents and the @EU_EESC stands ready to support them. #EESCplenary
