European Parliament – Brussels – Spinelli 1G2
The Transnational Forum of Alternatives to Uberisation #4 will bring together more than 100 workers, lawyers, trade unionists and Uberisation experts from across the European Union and around the world.
With the European Union having recently adopted an agreement on the Platform Workers Directive, this forum will be an opportunity to discuss the ongoing fight within European and national institutions –and outside them– against platforms’ intensive lobbying efforts to deregulate the sector.
