During the last international conference on the project, Worker participation in GIG Economy long-term scenarios for the automotive sector we had the opportunity to have the meeting which was a combination of the online meeting and traditional meeting. Part of the participant was present at the spot in Rome, but part of the participant was not in a position to travel because of complications caused by the pandemic COVID 19. 

The representatives of the Partner Organisations in the Project, we have discussed different legal and practical principles of the application of the provisions derived from different Directives regarding the participation of workers; in particular from the automotive sector, in the decision making. Also, in the transposition of the EU Directives regarding information and consultation in the same field of the automotive sector, paying special attention to the Directive 2009/38, on the establishment of the European Works Councils and the real and effective application of it.

One of the main conclusions after the meeting was that the participation of the representatives of the workers in the decision making in the scope of the European works councils and in the automotive sector is fundamental to advance in the defense of the workers and in the joint governance of the new forms of employment promoted by the system of the GIG Economy.
