| Summary: | "The Arts, Media and Entertainment sector is characterised by project-based work and freelancing traditions which means it is likely to be ahead of the curve and show trends now that will likely expand in the future with new working relationships driven, among other things, by the rise of internet platforms and other forms of digital working.
Working conditions of atypical workers in European labour markets show a range of factors that could contribute to precariousness and vulnerability
- little or no job security or legal/conventional/contractual protection;
- insecure, low or inadequate income;
- absence of worker choice regarding basic working conditions such as workplace, job description, working time, etc;
absence of proper social protection in case of unemployment, pregnancy and maternity, incapacity (e.g. sickness, accidents) and old age;
- low health and safety standards;
- limited access to training opportunities;
- limited trade union representation or collective bargaining coverage.
There are growing concerns amongst unions, and indeed policy-makers, that many forms of work arrangements do not provide workers with adequate protection and are increasingly resulting in precarious work. Regulatory frameworks, enforcement and labour inspections systems, active labour market policies and the judicial systems will need updating to be accessible to all workers, regardless of the nature of their employment relationship or work arrangement." |
