Fine Gael MEP Deirdre Clune says many platform workers, such as Deliveroo drivers, in Ireland and across Europe are classed as self-employed, meaning they miss out on benefits as employees.
She says we must ensure workers are not misclassed as self-employed when they have no desire to be self-employed.

MEP Deirdre Clune says she would like to join with the EPP Group in urging the European Commission to come up with a legislative proposal to ensure fair rights and working conditions for platform workers as soon as possible.
