| description | Recent developments in legal decisions have highlighted the directive power exerted by platforms, leading to a preference for an employee scheme for qualification purposes. However, work platform control mechanisms are part of larger, more complex systems of algorithmic power that threaten the identities of individuals. Workers become subject to manipulation even before they begin work, rendering the protections associated with employee recognition inadequate. One possible solution to safeguard the dignity of workers and right to self-determination is to align labor law with the right to personal data protection.
La evolución reciente de las decisiones judiciales ha puesto de relieve el poder directivo que ejercen las plataformas, lo que ha llevado a preferir un régimen de empleados a efectos de cualificación. Sin embargo, los mecanismos de control de las plataformas de trabajo forman parte de sistemas más amplios y complejos de poder algorítmico que amenazan la identidad de las personas. Los trabajadores se convierten en objeto de manipulación incluso antes de empezar a trabajar, lo que hace que las protecciones asociadas al reconocimiento de empleado resulten inadecuadas. Una posible solución para salvaguardar la dignidad de los trabajadores y el derecho a la autodeterminación es alinear la legislación laboral con el derecho a la protección de datos personales. |
