We Work Europe

Plaform work with decent working conditions: Is it possible? In the first episode of this three-part series we follow Leonard Müller, a food courier for Lieferando in Berlin, and explore the realities of gig work. With over 30 million platform workers in the EU, this episode uncovers the unpredictable pay and lack of protections that characterize the gig economy. Trade unionist Martin Willems, from Belgium’s ACV-CSC, dives into the labour rights challenges and the ongoing fight for fair regulations across Europe.

When it comes to health and safety in the workplace, many people think of air quality, noise pollution or lack of exercise. But digital technologies also have a significant influence on this. In this episode, we talk about the opportunities but also the challenges with Natalie Lotzmann and Patricia O'Callaghan, who are responsible for precisely this at the European software giant SAP. And we present the EU-OSHA campaign, which is dedicated to this very topic until 2025. EZA is a proud campaign partner.
