Europe created something called “the platform work directive”, or something along those lines. Basically means that platform jobs (i.e. Uber, Wolt, Just Eat) can no longer operate under a so-called “freelance model”.

Basically, if it looks like you’re hiring employees, you must give them contracts like employees (along with everything that entails).

It’s already been agreed upon, so it’s a matter of implementation. It’s considered a “pillar” of the EU now, so being part of the EU means having the directive. Deadline for the implementation, as I’ve heard from 3F Copenhagen, should be 2026.

I can’t wait.
