EU Members Reject Provisional Deal on Gig Employees’ Rights

European Union member states rejected a provisional deal that may have reclassified thousands and thousands of individuals working for ride-hailing and food-delivery apps as staff.

Officers from Spain, which holds the bloc’s rotating presidency, determined there was not the required majority to move the deal and despatched the difficulty again for additional negotiations with the European Parliament, in response to a assertion on the European Council’s web site on Friday.
