“…138 Workers must guess the metrics considered by the internal ranking system by constantly adhering to an implicit standard of conduct that reduces their self-determination. 139 They have little opportunity, if any, to influence the logic of AM systems besides being aware of the constant monitoring and their exposure to arbitrary sanctions 140 which affect their career prospects and potential earnings. Platform workers end up overworked, disempowered, stressed and, ultimately, less satisfied with their jobs.…”

Besides straining international, regional and national employment status classification models, digital labour platforms are pioneering new strategies and approaches in terms of algorithmic management, digital surveillance, remote work and cross-border outsourcing, which are increasingly being adopted in more conventional sectors of the economy. Developments in the platform economy are thus crucial in providing a stress test for the resilience of existing labour standards, as well as providing useful input in terms of the reforms needed to ensure their suitability, the collective interest representation and mobilization aspects comprehended by rapidly changing labour markets. This paper seeks to explore the key emerging regulatory dimensions of platform work. It contextualizes the challenges associated with platform work as an expression of the consolidated features that, in the past decades, have been transforming the labour market: non-standardization and the deregulation of employment relationships. Following that, it considers the definition of the personal scope of application as a key challenge faced by essentially all attempts to regulate platform work. It does so primarily by exploring the functions and operations of a legal device known as “presumption of employment”, currently being considered by the proposed EU directive on platform work as a key tool to address the complex employment status classification questions that have surrounded the “gig economy” since its emergence. The paper then provides a conceptual cartography of the various EU regulatory instruments (both existing ones and those currently in the legislative pipeline) that will, jointly, define the legal mosaic of labour rights applicable to the heterogeneous phenomenon of platform work in the years to come.

BackgroundFemoral shaft fractures tend to be rare among children; however, these injuries are the most common major paediatric injuries treated by orthopaedic surgeons. The purpose of this study is to characterise the demographics and mechanisms of femoral injury associated with consumer products in the age group treated with spica casting, children 6 months to 6 years, to identify areas for injury prevention.MethodsData from 2012 to 2021 were obtained from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System maintained by the Consumer Products Safety Commission, documenting emergency department visits for unintentional injuries associated with consumer products. Narrative descriptions were analysed to identify common factors in the injury events such as location, products and mechanisms of action.ResultsFrom 2012 to 2021, the estimated incidence of femur fractures was 23.5 cases per 100 000 children with no significant difference in yearly frequency. The most common mechanism of injury was a fall with the most frequent fracture sources being bed/bunk beds (16.1%), floor (slips/falls, 9.7%) and trampolines (9.7%). Most fractures occurred at the patient’s home (58.4%). The incidence of injury outside of the home and frequency of fractures involving play structures/trampolines increased with age.ConclusionsThe incidence and demographic characteristics of paediatric femur fractures associated with consumer products have remained consistent over the past 10 years. As home was the most common location of fracture, prevention of femur fractures should focus on caregiver education around high-risk sources of fracture (bed, stairs and trampolines) and manufacturers should consider design alternatives that discourage potential misuse.
