"The devastating impact of the "relocation" of the means of production, as an instrument used by the employer to minimize "labor costs", has reached its highest expression in the so-called "fourth industrial revolution". The proliferation of the so-called "atypical workers" and, in a very significant way, of the "false self-employed workers" has caused an important breach of social cohesion and the "de-unionization" of collective bargaining. The recent legal conflicts around these issues make it very important to establish the legality applicable to these new subjects in the field of labor relations, especially in regard to their collective bargaining rights and their coexistence with the right to free competition. The social dialogue must play a leading role in the processes of transition to the digital economy."
