This report was produced as part of the ‘Don’t GIG up!’ project, co- funded by the Directorate-
General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion of the European Commission, and aimed at
improving expertise and knowledge on the role unions and social dialogue can play with regard to
the protection of gig workers. Running for 24 months (February 2018 – January 2020), the project
brings together unions and research centres to analyse features and challenges of the gig economy
in a set of selected countries, namely Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Spain, and Sweden. More
precisely, the scope of the project is work carried out through labour platforms. At the onset of the
research, such platforms were divided into four groups according to their core activities, as per the
table below. [View resource]
