Abstract
This article examines the regulation of contractual relationship between workers and digital platforms from a comparative law perspective. For that purpose, the recently adopted Spanish ‘Riders Law’ will be the guiding thread of the analysis. The aim of this study is therefore to compare this statutory solution with other regulatory frameworks like European Union Law, UK, Italy, or French law and with case law approaches, to concluded that a third or intermediate category of workers should be set up to strike a balance between their labour rights and the innovative business model of digital platforms.
