Another interesting ruling from a Dutch court on the gig economy, following the recent Supreme Court decision that Deliveroo workers were employees. This ruling is where the GDPR meets with employee and labour relations.
- Uber and Ola were found to have violated driver rights in robo-firing of workers.
- The court rejected Uber and Ola arguments that disclosure of information about fraud allegations made against the workers would undermine platform security & expose trade secrets.
- Uber and Ola Cabs were ordered to provide information to workers on automated decision making relating to work allocation and fares including dynamic pay & pricing.
- The court ruled that secret worker profiling and management assessments are personal data and must be disclosed.
