The Future of Work is here – let's take a look at how we can shape it fairly!
November 14th 2025, 2:45 p.m. – 6:45 p.m. at the ÖGB Catamaran (Delegation Room, ground floor)
Internal. Conference
Platform work and algorithmic management, the invisible boss – buzzwords about the future of work or the present reality of precarious employment? Which strategies could lead to a fair future, and where do European countries stand with the implementation of the Platform Directive? What can we learn from Spain, a pioneer in regulating algorithmic management and platforms?
What can we learn from Spain, a pioneer in regulating algorithmic management and platforms?
We are delighted to welcome two exciting keynote speakers to our event. Tea Jarc, Confederal Secretary of the European Trade Union Confederation, will give us insights into the state of play regarding the transposition of the Platform Directive from an international perspective – and which industries are or might be affected.
Daniel Cruz Fuentes, Head of Analysis and Digital Transformation at CCOO Catalunya, will talk about the trade unions' experiences with the groundbreaking Riders Law, with a focus on the all-pervasive algorithmic management.
In the subsequent panel discussions, experts from both worlds – unions, law experts and inspectorates, but also organisers who are actually working in the field of platform work – will have their say.
There will be a lot to discuss and learn – plenty of time has been set aside for this afterwards.
