Nicholas Schmit (EU commissioner) on the #gigeconomy:
'In an economy you have consumers & producers of services. Our economy cannot just function on the basis of the advantage of the consumer, It has to take into account the interest of the provider of the service. There has to be a balance;
There’s a strong market for these kinds of services & people are ready to bear the cost.... If there’s a cost [for #workers rights] it has to be paid'!
#EU will test this proposition & I hope he's right
