📢 New research from the GDPoweR project! We're pleased to share five new country reports from the SOCPL project Recovering Workers’ Data to Negotiate and Monitor Collective Agreements in the Platform Economy, focused on ride-hailing and food-delivery in AT, BE, FR, PL, and ES. 1/5

If you research what data (platform) companies collect about workers and/or how the collection and use of worker data can be regulated, submit an abstract and come to Warsaw for the final conference of GDPoweR project on September 11, 2025. Find out more on our website

This is wild! Lieferando Austria just fired all their riders and will re-hire them as free-service providers. This means the riders lose their workplace representation and CBA coverage as only employees are covered by collective agreements and represented by works councils.

Yesterday, I trained trade unionists at ETUC’s ‘Negotiating the Algorithm and Accessing Information’ workshop on making GDPR requests and analyzing recovered data using insights from our #GDPoweR project. Thanks for the opportunity @etuc-ces.bsky.social ky.social and @fh-danmark.bsky.social!
