The first is platform working. As you know, platform workers don't get a pension, they don't get sick leave, they don't get paternity leave or maternity leave, they don't get redundancy. You can see lines of food delivery workers in Dublin queuing... 13/10/2022 | 16:50:47 Thanks indeed, Mister Chairperson. On behalf of the United European Left, I want to warmly welcome this report and indeed congratulate the rapporteur.
