They probably didn't read the news that Uber in the Netherlands just lost there case. Gig economy in the Netherlands isn't allowed. We currently have issues with employees being forced to become entrepreneurs in all kinds of sectors. Most people just agree but don't really understand what is involved.
I think this will also play out in other countries in the EU until it will become an EU issue.

- danaos 5y agoYou are probably referring to this[1]. AFAIU the efood controversy relates to the gig economy. I don't see the connection. EDIT: It has become clear to me that you don't undestand what you're talking about. Here's[2] an unbiased view of the law.

- project2501a 5y ago"unbiased view of the law" in Greece is a dogwhistle for "right wing/libertarian". I'll stop this thread here, since hackernews is really not really interested in the internal political differences of the Greek bourgeoisie class and workers.
- PostThisTooFast 5y agoSo freelance workers are banned? Contractors are banned? Wow, what a "victory."
- consp 5y agoNo, Just fake contractors/freelancers. If the job is equivalent to an employment status you are an employee not a contractor. Not able to set their own price or being able negotiate is a big part of this.
