Montgomery T (2023) Gig economy workers are to get better EU protections – creating an awkward choice for Rishi Sunak. The Conversation. 12.06.2023.

Abstract
First paragraph: Workers for online operators like Deliveroo and Uber are in line for sweeping new rights and protections within the EU after ministers met in Luxembourg to thrash out proposals. The resulting agreement on proposed rights for platform workers has huge implications for the gig economy. It also puts pressure on the UK to follow suit.
