metadata.value: The present research aims at inquiring if a collective dimension exists and how to strengthen
  it in platform work. Firstly, the consistency of the characteristics of platform work with the
  collective dimension of labour law is verified from a theoretical point of view. Even if difficulties
  in building a collective dimension emerge, it is then shown that some collective initiatives,
  taken by self-organised and non-unionised movements but also by Trade Unions, have been
  occurred in working on-demand via apps, especially with reference to the food delivery sector.
  A different story can be told about crowdwork where the collective dimension is completely
  neglected, with the exception of few original experiences, supported also by Trade Unions,
  put in place online, due to the virtual character of the crowdwork workplace. However, these
  initiatives are considered not sufficient in order to build a collective dimension, as they are
  not enough to guarantee the communication among workers from which a collective interest
  can rise. For this reason, the Proposal of the European Union requesting platforms to provide
  crowdworkers with specific virtual infrastructures on the platforms themselves, enabling a
  communication among workers similar to that which takes place in the physical workplace, is
  pivotal to facilitate discussions and exchanges of ideas among workers, from which a collective
  organisation, holding a collective interest, could slowly develop.
