metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article provides several reflections on the extent to which crowdworkers are covered by
  the new EU Regulation 2019/1150 of 20 June 2019 on promoting fairness and transparency for
  business users of online intermediation services, commonly referred to as the “P2B Regulation”
  (“P2B” standing for “platform-to-business”). To this end, the scope of the P2B Regulation
  and its main provisions are briefly presented. The Regulation defines a platform as an “online
  intermediation service”. The suppliers of goods or services who present their offers on the platform
  are called “business users”. The customers to whom these business users offer goods or
  services must be consumers. Of the three legal relationships that arise in the triangle between
  these three groups, the P2B Regulation exclusively regulates the legal relationship between the
  provider of online intermediation services, i. e. the platform operator, and the business user.
  The P2B Regulation unilaterally intervenes in this legal relationship in favour of the business
  user and to the detriment of the provider of online intermediation services, in the sense that, by
  mandatory law, obligations are imposed on the provider and rights are granted to the business
  user. The key question is then whether crowdworkers are business users in the sense of selfemployed
  businesses in the meaning of the Regulation and, if so, what rights they may have
  under it. This question receives the quite surprising answer that, even if a crowdworker is to be
  regarded as an employee covered by the applicable national labour law, this crowdworker can
  be regarded as a business user for the purposes of the P2B Regulation. If, however, the provisions
  of the P2B Regulation and the applicable national labour law come into conflict, then the
  most favourable provisions should apply in favour of the crowdworker.
