Presentation of D5 Sample Clauses

Presentation of D5. 1. & 5.2: Final Report on the impact on technologies on workers and labour process in the platform economy D.1 3 and D.2.3) and previous experiences especially at the European level such as The European Pillar on Social Rights or The Directive on Transparent and Predictable Working Conditions (2019/1152/EU). Then it was also explained that these rights are split into two concentric circles. The first larger circle comprehends several fundamental human rights connected to the fact that someone carries out a labour activity, irrespective of the possibility to consider these activities such as work, in the form of self-employment or employment. The narrower circle comprehends other rights linked to the performance of work activities (whether as employed or self-employed). UOC partners also explained that these two sets are not completely separated but, on the contrary, are intertwined and can be used by the policymakers at each level to build a framework linked to the business model that they wish to regulate. Following the same logic, a digital platform may also decide to combine them, with different balances, into a specific framework to protect workers’ rights according to the organisation of the business at a specific moment (see Aim of the deliverable D.5.1 in which it is explained that the Charter is conceived as a flexible framework). Finally, it was also mentioned that the Charter operates under a principle of non-regression and that these rights correspond to the minimum standard we would like to suggest to digital platforms and policymakers. The first body of rights was designed to meet the protection needs of those who work on digital platforms with greater autonomy i.e., in an episodic manner or for a limited number of hours. These rights can be also linked to other forms of platform labour irrespective of the existence of a “contractual work relationship” with the digital platform. The fact that a labour activity is carried out, even if it cannot be classified as work from a legal point of view, calls for the introduction of some protection. For this reason, the Charter also offers a minimum standard of protection to those who directly provide goods (such as a house for short term rentals) and may only indirectly provide a work activity. As it was also pointed out, anyone who rents out a house using the Airbnb platform, especially when this activity generates his/her main source of income, is not an independent economic operator but is instead su...
