This comprehensive book is the result of fruitful discussions that originated at a 2018 conference in Milan, focusing on platform work. It encompasses national reports from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom, where esteemed authors offer expert analysis and insights into crucial questions that emerged during the conference. These questions have significant implications for the various European countries considered similarly. They include:

Diffusion data of the phenomenon in the considered country: The authors provide detailed information about the prevalence and distribution of platform work in each country.

Special rules developed by the legislator or landmark cases involving platform workers in the legal system: The reports explore whether specific regulations or judicial precedents have been established to address the rights and protections of platform workers.

Role of unions and relevance of platform workers' collective rights: The authors examine the involvement of unions and the significance of collective rights for platform workers in each country.

A fundamental question arises in the context of these inquiries: Is the notion of subordinate work, which emerged and solidified during the 20th century, still capable of encompassing and providing workers in the new millennium with appropriate protection?

In addition to chapters dedicated to notable European jurisdictions, the book also features other more transversal reports addressing the issue of fundamental (collective) workers' rights and the relevant European legal framework.

This comprehensive volume sheds light on the evolving landscape of platform work and its impact on workers' rights across Europe, offering valuable insights and perspectives for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders.
