"Collective Labour Rights for Self-Employed Workers is a crucial and timely book depicting how a human rights-based approach (HRBA) towards collective labour rights can bridge the protection gap that many self-employed workers are currently facing. Platform work arrangements are often defended as an expression of technological progress with the potential to enable people to work as self-employed individuals, often without any supervision or control. It is by now, well-documented, though, that platform work not only shares important features of flexibility and precariousness with other casual work arrangements that are on the rise around the world but also entails the risk of excluding a significant portion of workers from the protection of fundamental collective labour rights, including their coverage from collective agreements. A HRBA identifies all workers, regardless of their employment status, as rights-holders that are entitled to rights, like the right to collective bargaining, derived from international human rights and labour rights instruments."-- Publisher's website.
