"‘Social rights', the late Professor Sir Bob Hepple warned in 2007 ‘are like paper tigers, fierce in appearance but missing in tooth and claw.' This note sets out to explore the potential of the right to an effective remedy in Article 47 of the European Union's Charter of Fundamental Rights (‘CFR') in equipping the Union's social acquis with credible remedies. Article 47 CFR is one of the most-litigated and important Articles in the Charter. At the same time, however, it has received surprisingly little attention in the context of EU employment law.
Discussion is structured as follows: section one explores the rise of the principle of effectiveness, from the early case law of the Court of Justice to the Charter's entry into force in 2009. Section two sketches the powerful potential of Article 47 CFR, highlighting its utility both in tackling domestic obstacles to effective enforcement, and expanding the horizontal applicability of EU employment law. Section three briefly highlights some of the limitations litigants might encounter, including a general emphasis on broad regulatory discretion for Member States, and the difficult of crafting (positive) duties out of (negative) restraints. A brief concluding section turns to EU law more broadly, as well as the European Convention of Human Rights, for inspirations guiding the potential future development of Article 47 CFR."

"What if your boss was an algorithm? The gig economy promises to revolutionise work as we know it, offering flexibility and independence instead of 9-to-5 drudgery. The potential benefits are enormous: consumers enjoy the convenience and affordability of on-demand work while micro-entrepreneurs turn to online platforms in search of their next gig, task, or ride. Is this the future of work? This book offers an engaging account of work in the gig economy across the world. Competing narratives abound: on-demand gigs offer entrepreneurial flexibility - or precarious work, strictly controlled by user ratings and algorithmic surveillance. Platforms' sophisticated technology is the product of disruptive innovation - whilst the underlying business model has existed for centuries. How can we protect consumers & workers without stifling innovation? As courts and governments around the world begin to grapple with the gig economy, Humans as a Service explores the challenges of on-demand work, and explains how we can ensure decent working conditions, protect consumers, and foster innovation. Employment law plays a central role in levelling the playing field: gigs, tasks, and rides are work â and should be regulated as such."

"Que se passerait-il si votre patron était un algorithme ?
L'économie des petits boulots promet de révolutionner le travail sous sa forme établie en remplaçant la corvée du 9h-17h par de la flexibilité et de l'indépendance. Les avantages potentiels sont énormes : les consommateurs jouissent de services à la demande facilement accessibles tandis que les micro-entrepreneurs sont à l'affût de petits boulots, de tâches, ou de courses sur des plateformes en ligne.

Est-ce le futur du travail ?

Ce livre propose une description stimulante du travail dans l'économie des petits boulots à travers le monde. Les récits contradictoires abondent : les petits boulots à la demande génèrent de la flexibilité entrepreneuriale ou du travail précaire, strictement contrôlé par des évaluations de l'utilisateur et de la surveillance algorithmique. La technologie sophistiquée des plateformes est le produit de l'innovation disruptive – alors que le modèle économique sous-jacent existe depuis des siècles.

Pouvons-nous protéger les consommateurs et les travailleurs sans brider l'innovation ?

Alors que les tribunaux et les gouvernements de par le monde commencent à aborder la problématique de l'économie des petits boulots, ce livre explore les défis du travail à la demande et explique comment nous pouvons assurer des conditions de travail décentes, protéger les consommateurs, et encourager l'innovation. Le droit du travail joue un rôle central dans l'harmonisation des règles du jeu : les petits boulots, les tâches et les courses sont du travail – et devraient être régulés en tant que tels."

"This article scrutinises the potential of the existing regulatory apparatus in Union law to tackle the social, technical, and legal challenges inherent in deploying automated systems in high-risk settings such as the workplace, with a view to setting out key lessons for the proposed EU Artificial Intelligence Act. Surveying data protection and discrimination rules as well as the social acquis, it highlights key areas for further development, from coherence between different regulatory regimes to the role of social partnership in shaping key standards and monitoring their implementation."

"The promise—and perils—of algorithmic management are increasingly recognised in the literature. How should regulators respond to the automation of the full range of traditional employer functions, from hiring workers through to firing them? This article identifies two key regulatory gaps—an exacerbation of privacy harms and information asymmetries, and a loss of human agency—and sets out a series of policy options designed to address these novel harms. Redlines (prohibitions), purpose limitations, and individual as well as collective information rights are designed to protect against harmfully invasive data practices; provisions for human involvement ‘in the loop' (banning fully automated terminations), ‘after the loop' (a right to meaningful review), ‘before the loop' (information and consultation rights) and ‘above the loop' (impact assessments) aim to restore human agency in the deployment and governance of algorithmic management systems."
