France refuses to apply EU directive on gig workers

Original: Le gouvernement refuse d'appliquer la directive européenne sur les travailleurs ubérisés https:// basta.media/Gouverneme

The French government has announced it will not implement the European directive on gig economy workers. Labour Minister Jean-Pierre Farandou said France would not be among the countries applying the rules, which aim to give platform workers like Uber and Deliveroo drivers employee status and social protections. The decision has drawn criticism from unions and left-wing commentators who accuse the government of abandoning gig workers' rights.
