Economists warn strict platform work directive could cost Poland over PLN 18bn a year

Experts from the Polish Economists' Society warn that an overly restrictive implementation of the EU platform work directive could cost the Polish economy over PLN 18 billion a year and slow its growth. The directive concerns the legal status of platform workers such as couriers and ride-hailing drivers. Economists are calling for a cautious approach when transposing the rules into Polish law.
