EU adopts platform work directive with rules on algorithmic management

See how this story connects

Source: Council of the EU

The Council of the EU adopted the platform work directive on 14 October 2024, after Parliament’s approval. It covers more than 28 million people working through digital labour platforms, requires qualified staff to oversee automated decisions on their work and lets them challenge those decisions; member states have two years from entry into force to transpose it.

Why it matters

Delivery, ride-hailing and other platforms in the EU must open their algorithmic management to scrutiny and keep humans overseeing decisions that affect workers.
