Gig-work, or platform work, has been in the crosshairs of regulators since roughly the mid-2010s. The employment of an increasing number of platform workers raises a number of problems, however, there is no longer a consensus as to whether these problems are only the emergence of certain well-established labor law issues in a new guise, or completely new ones. To date, only one possible solution seems to have emerged, that of bringing platform work under the umbrella of labor law. This study argues, on the one hand, that platform work has a characteristic that was previously unknown in the world of labor relations (algorithmic and data-based work organization) and, on the other hand, that it has two other characteristics (tripartite structure and network effect) that create an entirely new quality that requires innovative legal approaches. The study selects some of the recent European Union standards regulating various kinds of online platforms which may also provide useful solutions for the regulation of platform work.

零工经济中的宪法价值？为什么劳动法在平台工作中失败，我们能做些什么？

自大约 2010 年代中期以来，零工工作或平台工作一直是监管机构的目标。越来越多的平台工作者的就业带来了一些问题，但是，这些问题只是某些既定的劳动法问题以新的形式出现，还是全新的问题，已不再形成共识。迄今为止，似乎只出现了一种可能的解决方案，即将平台工作纳入劳动法的保护伞之下。本研究认为，一方面，平台工作具有劳动关系领域以前不为人知的特征（算法和基于数据的工作组织），另一方面，它具有另外两个特征（三方结构）和网络效应）创造了一种全新的品质，需要创新的法律方法。
