Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to outline the problems faced by individual and collective labour law in face of new forms of work organization such as digital platforms. Digital platforms do not constitute uniform silos separate from other branches of economy. On the contrary, there are significant differences in the way platforms are organized and managed. Platform workers share common interests related to, for example, the setting of remuneration or working conditions, but the possibility of collective bargaining is in practice significantly reduced. Regulations aimed at implementing the protective function of labour law, e.g. in the sphere of working time, are also difficult to apply to this group of workers. This makes platform workers vulnerable to precarization and clearly demonstrated the need of labour law to develop and adapt in a way that allows it to embrace wider group of workers.
