The European Parliament on Thursday approved recommendations for the forthcoming proposal on the “European Pillar of Social Rights,” that would impact gig economy workers. The nonbinding resolution guarantees basic rights for workers, regardless of the form of employment and contract.

Parliament called for EU-wide rules on decent working conditions to apply to all forms of employment, including new forms, such as on-demand work or work intermediated by digital platforms.

In approving these recommendations, the European Parliament added its weight, and some specific demands, to the European Commission’s push for more stringent regulation of the gig economy, Bloomberg reported.

Fiona Coombe, Director Legal & Regulatory Research for Staffing Industry Analysts, said “I am not sure the answer is more, or specific, rights for gig-economy workers. The problem is the way such companies operate bypassing laws that are already in existence, and a lack of enforcement of workers’ rights. The challenge for these technology-enabled service providers is to find a business model that delivers returns for investors, for customers and for the workers who deliver the services.”

Members of the European Parliament also urge member states to enforce labour standards more effectively, especially to tackle undeclared work. And members propose introducing an EU social security card that would help ensure fair social protection for workers who contribute to welfare systems by keeping track of their contributions accumulated in personal accounts.

In addition, members of the European Parliament called for limits regarding on-demand work and for disallowing zero-hour contracts.
