Abstract
This article analyzes the right to collective bargaining of platform workers. While access to this right is guaranteed for platform workers who are classified as employees, such access is more debatable for self-employed platform workers. The article, therefore, analyzes ILO standards, CJEU judgments, and European Commission proposals that could underpin access to the right to collective bargaining for those who are genuinely self-employed. It also analyzes the differences in collective bargaining between workers on location-based platforms and those on online platforms, highlighting the difficulty of collective bargaining in the latter. Finally, the article analyzes the main issues of seven collective agreements for platform workers, from which the following conclusions are drawn: i) most agreements are negotiated at the company rather than the sector level; ii) most focus on guaranteeing a minimum wage and maximum working time, but they do not deal with algorithmic decisions or rankings; iii) all are negotiated by traditional unions, and iv) all of these agreements are related to location-based platforms
