“Gig Economy and new protections for the worker” (Le Fonti TV, 14 May 2018 – Alberto De Luca)

On 14 May, Attorney Alberto De Luca has taken part along with Gian Luca Petrelli from BeMyEye, to an interview organized by Le Fonti. Specialized in labour law, Attorney De Luca has highlighted the unique features of the new economic model which, for a few years, has been a significant game changer in the job industry: the gig economy. In particular, during the interview he focused his attention on the tools made available under the Italian legislation to face this new economic model, as well as on what could be the consequences in terms of employment and future opportunities, highlighting essentially a new way of looking at the relationship between employer and employee, no longer tied to pre-established structures Fordist-style but projected more towards a result oriented logic, where control of the entrepreneur over the work of the individual is increasingly less prominent.
