Does EU law protect gig economy workers? Tensions in the CJEU’s case law

Tzanakopoulou, Maria (2018) Does EU law protect gig economy workers? Tensions in the CJEU’s case law. EU Law Analysis ,

Abstract

The gig economy is on the rise precipitating much discussion about working conditions –from working time to remuneration and from maternity and paternity protection to the all important classification of individuals working in the gig economy pool (see, eg, here and here). The case of King marks the debut of CJEU judgments related to the regulation of business conduct and worker’s rights in the gig economy. Here, the CJEU upholds the right of a self-employed worker to indeterminately carry over entitlements deriving from unexercised paid leave, while it protects Mr King’s right to an effective remedy before the courts.
