Subject: CECOP Policy Paper | Non-standard and Platform workers in the
COVID-19 crisis
To: <michel at p2pfoundation.net>

A worker-owned cooperatives' perspective

*Based on CECOP’s Working Group on Platforms and Non-Standard Work, and
coordinated by Smart (Belgium), this policy paper addresses the situation
of non-standard workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, including platform
workers. The paper stems from a summary of members’ testimony of their
experiences during the time of lockdown. *

The COVID-19 pandemic that unravelled over the world led to tremendous
losses of lives across the world. With huge efforts and strict measures
taken, it was possible to slow the spread of the coronavirus in Europe, but
the constant threat of a new outbreak, as well as the economic implications
of the fight against COVID-19, remain challenges for European societies and
economies. As for many aspects, the confinement measures and their impact
exacerbated underlying challenges societies were already facing before
COVID-19 spread. This is particularly the case of non-standard and platform
workers who struggled during this crisis, as many national rescue packages
failed to address their needs. Whereas cooperatives showed their resilience
in times of turmoil in the past, this crisis is new and the uncertainties
for the future are high.

The COVID-19 crisis showed that the recognition of non-standard workers,
including platform workers, remains a challenge in national and European
labour regulations, leaving workers vulnerable and making fitting policies
complicated to obtain. The failure to adapt national and European labour
legislation to cover non-standard workers worsened the impact of the
current crisis, putting workers incomes and livelihoods at risk.
