We can’t trust tech companies to act fair towards their competitors, because they don’t.

This is why we need a strong Digital Markets Act.

The EU and Africa must work together to advance common goals in 2022. Inclusive, green and fair trade and investment relations can benefit both continents.

It is high time to put a stop to bogus self-employment by platform companies.

The directive proposed by @NicolasSCHMIT today must ensure that platform workers receive the rights they deserve: fair wages and decent working conditions.

That's what @TheProgressives will fight for!

Platform work must be fair!

We will not allow algorithms to change worker's wages, working conditions or to dismiss workers.

Management must be done by humans, who workers can hold accountable. Platform companies must abide by the same rules as other companies.
