Gig workers in 27 countries across Europe may go from being classified as independent contractors to employees if a proposal being considered by the European Commission goes through. Adoption would mean that workers would be entitled to a minimum wage and other legal protections connected to employment, just like any other employee. An estimated 4.1 million gig workers are making deliveries and handling other jobs in Europe.
