The master's thesis addresses the challenges that labor law faces due to the rise of new forms of employment through digital platforms. The introductory section defines the concept of platform work and presents two of its most common forms. The core of the thesis focuses on the legal and formal uncertainties surrounding the status of platform workers, highlighting the rights that are consequently denied to them. Additionally, it examines the issues brought about by algorithmic management on platforms, such as the lack of transparency and the exclusion of workers from decision-making processes. In the conclusion, the thesis proposes concrete solutions aimed at improving the legal protection and working conditions of platform workers.
