07/11/2022 (Agence Europe) – As reported in a previous edition, the Czech Presidency of the Council of the EU did not fundamentally change its direction regarding the directive on the working conditions of workers on digital platforms (see EUROPE 13057/19) and the need to meet 3 out of 7 criteria to activate the legal presumption of employment, but strengthened the wording on the protection of workers’ personal data mentioning “the clear imbalance between the person performing platform work and the digital labour platform running the automated monitoring or decision-making systems”. New references are made to the minimum consultation of workers when these automated decision rules are modified. The next meeting of the working group will take place on 15 November. The European Parliament is expected to make a decision on 30 November. Link to the compromise: https://aeur.eu/f/3xi (SP)
